Devin Booker says quiet part out loud about elite Thunder defense

The OKC Thunder earned a 123-119 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. Oklahoma City's NBA-best defense did not have a perfect outing, but it still earned the respect of Suns star Devin Booker.

Booker addressed the Thunder's defensive approach on Friday following a competitive matchup.

"The secret is out. They do speed you up," Booker told reporters after the game. "They play aggressive. They'll grab, they'll hold, but it's never like when you're in a shooting position. It's always on the handle or on your drives when they get away with it.
