Detroit’s own Devin Booker stood out in his 15 minutes, scoring 12 points and dishing out two assists, helping the Phoenix Suns to a 130-126 victory over the Detroit Pistons and former Suns coach Monty Williams to start the pre-season 1-0.
Starting with Jusuf Nurkic winning his first tip-off and Bradley Beal getting to the line on the first possession (then making Phoenix’s first basket), this one was going a million miles a minute right from the jump, leading to a 14-2 after just 3:14. And I loved it.
Each of the five starters got involved on both ends before Brad Beal was the first of the three stars to exit, replaced by Eric Gordon.
