On March 16, 2019, Devin Booker dropped 40 points while leading the Phoenix Suns to an overtime victory in New Orleans against the Pelicans. It was almost déjà vu on Thursday as the young star once again dominated in another overtime thriller in the Big Easy.
Both teams started the game scorching hot from the field as the Suns and Pelicans each shot nearly 60 percent in the first quarter. Booker and Frank Kaminsky combined for 21 points in the opening frame, but trailed by two as the Pelicans took a 40-38 lead into the second.
Cam Johnson continued his strong start to his rookie season as he led the way for the Suns offensively in the second quarter.
