5 most memorable Phoenix Suns moments from 2019

1. Devin Booker scores 157 points in three games

The best way to describe this three-game stretch from Devin Booker would be to call it a “Mamba-like” performance.

Not only did Booker rack together back-to-back 50 point games, but he only fell two points short of making it three in a row. Though the Phoenix Suns dropped all three of the games during Booker’s run, he also added two double-doubles in the span, collecting 10 rebounds against the Washington Wizards and 11 assists against the Memphis Grizzlies.

And even more impressive was Booker surpassing the total Lakers’ legend Kobe Bryant put together during the 2006-07 season when he put up 153 points from Mar. 22-25.

Also worth noting in the win was Booker scoring at least 25 points in his 10th consecutive game, just one short of Amare Stoudemire’s franchise record.

All in all, this might be the most dominant stretch of games in Booker’s young career and just showed how dominant of a scorer he can be. While the Suns don’t need this on a regular basis from their star guard, Booker showed off his ability to put up big scoring numbers in 2019.

Though Booker and the Suns didn’t win a lot of games in 2019, there certainly were some special moments that gave fans something to hope for in the near future.
