Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker fittingly hit a step-back midrange jumper to reach the 15,000-point milestone in the opening minute of Tuesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Booker became only the second player in Suns history to score 15,000 points with the franchise, joining Hall of Famer Walter Davis. He entered Tuesday one point away from the benchmark and dropped 12 points in the opening quarter.
