Chris Paul showed in the season opener why Phoenix traded four players and a future first-round pick for him.
Devin Booker showed the clutch gene he had on full display in the bubble.
The Suns showed they can close out a playoff team in a tight game as they used a 5-0 spurt to break a tie in a 106-102 victory Wednesday night over Dallas at the renovated Phoenix Suns Arena.
After Booker hit a free throw to put the Suns up a point, Paul connected on his patented fading jumper. Then Booker followed with a basket to put Phoenix up 105-100 with 40.
