Fitting that Devin Booker returned from health and safety protocols in time to lead the Phoenix Suns to their playoffs-clinching victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.
Shocking that it happened on May 9th, a full five weeks before the end of the regular season.
Even more shocking is that no other NBA team has a hope to claim that ‘victory’ for at least two more weeks, if not longer.
With a 53-13 record (8 more wins than the next closest NBA team), the Phoenix Suns are guaranteed a top-six seed in the 2022 playoffs even if they lose all 16 of their remaining regular season games.
