Booker & Oubre Combine for 72 in Overtime Victory vs Pelicans

The Phoenix Suns battled it out in an overtime thriller on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

It was a hot start for both Kelly Oubre Jr. and Devin Booker as the duo looked poised for a big night. The newly-headbanded Oubre scored the first five points for the Suns and Booker followed that up scoring seven straight of his own.

By the end of the first, Booker already had 14 points and four assists and the Suns held a 34-31 lead. The team locked down defensively in the second quarter, holding the Pelicans without a field goal for over a six-minute stretch and extended their lead to 13.
