MEMPHIS – Devin Booker isn’t sure how it happens. It just does. Play basketball long enough, shooters find a groove, enter the zone. The best way the Suns guard can describe it: “supreme confidence.”
After watching Booker score 27 points in a little more than seven minutes last week against Milwaukee, coach Earl Watson said coaching never had felt so easy. “It’s like cheating,’’ he said. “Like having a cheat code to a video game.”
During his 13-year NBA career, Watson said he played with only two players capable of catching fire the way Booker did that night: Ray Allen and Kevin Durant.
