Cam Johnson is not in a groove, nor in a hot streak. He is becoming one of the best shooters in the game. And it’s about time the league took notice.
The third-year forward led the way for the Phoenix Suns in their home victory over the Clippers, 106-89. Johnson scored a career high 24 points on 9-14 from the field, including 4-7 from downtown, while also contributing defensively with two blocks and seven rebounds in 35 minutes.
Johnson’s career night also marked himself a spot in Suns’ history, as he recorded his 21st consecutive game with 2+ threes made, a franchise record for a franchise that boasts a dozen all-time Hall of Fame players and some great high-volume three point shooters like Steve Nash, Devin Booker, Dan Majerle, Leandro Barbosa and Channing Frye to name a few.
