Booker struggled away from the basket up to that point and was 6-for-17 overall and 0-for-5 from three. Booker told the Suns’ TV broadcast the play was originally drawn up for Kevin Durant, a play he said they also ran during the Olympics.
Booker finished with 19 points (on 7-for-18 shooting), 12 assists and seven rebounds in 40 minutes. Durant led the way for Phoenix with 38 points (on 11-for-21 shooting), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 37 minutes.
The shot gave the Suns (35-37) four straight wins, the team’s longest winning streak since November. Despite having the league’s toughest remaining strength of schedule, the surging Suns have moved within a half game of the Sacramento Kings for ninth in the Western Conference.

Well, the Suns are no longer boring. That is something.
Hahahahahahahahaha
Talking about playing with our emotions!! We started 9-2, and all the losing since May have been necessary to figure out we need.. Which were rooks, defenders and energy players, and most importantly NO BEAL!
No Tatum in the 2 Cs games upcoming..Our confidence has grown significantly, and we now know our formula! Which is to surround Book and KD with DEFENSE! And viola it’s working!!
13-3 now when Book and KD play without Beal..
11 more FTs for Bucks??
Giannis is still a hacker!
If we stop turning over the ball, it’s def not so dramatic..
Great job Suns! You stamped that Cavs Win, in allowing just 106 pts.. Now keep playing like every game is a playoff game like you’ve been doing, and good stuff will follow.. Yes I’m now on the bandwagon..
25-6 when allowing 115 or less.
20-3 when 109 or less
16-2 when 106 or less
Yea, it took forever, but I think we finally found our lineup and our D!!
Ok-still likely not doing anything extraordinary, too big a hole was dug.. But playing like this I see us likely taking 9th and since we own the Clips knocking em out to face Houston? Definitely possible
Another great win, Celtics on Wednesday BUT Tatum likely out with a sprained ankle he got tonight in Sacramento.
