The Suns were without Kevin Durant for the second consecutive game, and it was Eric Gordon who picked up the scoring slack for Phoenix. EG had a season-high in scoring, pouring in 25 points, including 6-of-9 from deep.
You may say that the Phoenix Suns do not have a point guard. You may be wrong. Devin Booker didn’t have his best night shooting from the field, but it was his playmaking coupled with the engagement of his teammates around him that equated to the Suns’ success tonight. Booker ended the evening with 28 points, 11 assists, and only 2 turnovers.
