Chris Paul is back, but Devin Booker is still the one willing the Phoenix Suns to victory, 140-130 in Denver.
Suns win their seventh in a row, 60th of the season, and clinch the league’s top playoff seed.
First half
Suns came out a little lackadaisical in this one. Jokic got a few early buckets despite good Ayton defense, and Phoenix had a few unforced turnovers. But once they got their feet under them, the Suns looked exactly like you’d expect with Paul back. Booker was especially enjoying the decreased defensive attention; he had 11 points in his first five minutes on just five shots.
