We’ve witnessed the first explosion onto the national scene for Devin Booker two years ago when he went for 70 points in Boston. Then, Booker went off for 59 points in Utah on Monday. The exclamation point to Booker arriving on the stage of other great scorers around the Association.
Well, Booker is making sure he’s firmly supplanted in the conversation amongst other elite players after tonight’s outing. Booker finished with 50 points on 19-of-29 shooting, which places him alongside James Harden, Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson as players over the last 25 years to score 50 in consecutive games (via Basketball-Reference).
