I’m not sure how cognizant Devin Booker is of the fact that he literally cannot drain more than six threes in a game.
Nine times in his four-year career, Booker has drained six three-pointers in a single contest. In several of those games, the fifth three — if not the sixth — went down in the third quarter. But never once has he nailed a seventh.
On Monday night against the Sixers, Booker had made six of 11 threes before the fourth quarter began. But in the fourth, he went 4-4 inside the arc and 0-4 from three, finishing with 37 points in a furious finish that came up just short of a win over the Sixers.
