Phoenix Suns: Ranking Devin Booker’s best games this season
By Jono Perilli
3: 39 PTS, 9 AST, 10 REBS vs Boston Celtics (January 18th)
It was a fantastic performance by Booker that was able to secure a massive win against the Boston Celtics. While certainly not his best performance against the Celtics, Booker was able to lead his team to a much-needed win, especially without Kelly Oubre Jr.
Through this game, Booker was able to shoot an impressive 60 percent from the field, while only nailing one three. Though he had four turnovers and personal fouls, Booker was active and alive on the defensive end, snatching two steals. It was also his clutch free-throws that kept the Suns alive in the hard-hitting win. Booker unfortunately, wasn’t able to throw up a triple-double, but his near performance shows his massive improvement as a playmaker.
While Booker was able to grab the spotlight as usual, it was a force from the opposition that made massive waves amongst fans. Marcus Smart‘s 37 points, while shooting a mind-blowing eleven threes, that was truly one of the most impressive factors for the whole game. It was also the impact from both Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton that also nailed the win for the Suns. Much needed considering their injuries.
It’s Booker’s near triple-double against the Celtics for a massive win that takes the third spot on the list.
