Devin Booker was cooking early in the Phoenix Suns’ win over the New Orleans Pelicans, looking like himself again after a cold stretch.
Booker finished with 52 points on 28 shots and led the team with nine assists to just three turnovers in under 40 minutes. Before two second-half minutes had passed, Booker had already reached 40 points and a career high in 3s, finishing with eight triples.
It couldn’t come at a better time with the postseason right around the corner.
Putting aside a three-game stretch with more than 30 points in each, Booker was averaging just 20.
