For all of his career accomplishments—including two All-Star appearances, a Three-Point Contest win and a 70-point game—Suns star shooting guard Devin Booker had never recorded a triple-double during his six season sin the league.
On Sunday, he picked the right time to cross that off his list.
Booker scored 40 points with 13 rebounds and 11 assists as the Suns took down the Clippers, 120-114, in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, stepping up in the absence of point guard Chris Paul to put Phoenix three wins away from the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance since 1993.
