BBNBA: Devin Booker drops 58 in Suns win

Of course, Kentucky mustered a puny 53 in total against UCLA. That is either really impressive or really disheartening depending on which way you want to look at it. The right answer is probably both.
Booker’s 58 marks the most points ever scored in the Footprint Center, the Suns’ arena that has undergone a slew of name changes since it first opened in 1992. The previous record belonged to Gilbert Arenas, who dropped 54 in 2006.
