However, no player outshined Devin Booker.
In the Phoenix Suns’ 129-124 Game 3 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, Booker went off for 45 points, six rebounds and three assists while shooting 18-29 (62%) from the field. Booker’s 45 points are the most scored by any player so far in the 2023 playoffs and are a personal playoff high.
