Despite only taking 15 shots through the entire game, Kevin Durant was a huge factor in Devin Booker’s big 45-point performance yesterday against the Clippers.
Booker finished with 45 points on 62% shooting to go along with 3 steals and 2 blocks. Why was Booker able to have such an efficient night scoring the ball?

This answer from head coach Monty Williams about Durant’s spacing back last month rings true today after the kind of game Booker was able to have.
