Devin Booker in his last 3 games:
Jan. 24: 17-23 FG
Jan. 26: 22-37 FG
Tonight: 17-26 FG
The last player to make 56 shots over a 3-game span?

Just gonna put this out here now before the jokes start: Yes, the ball needs to move more. But blaming another Suns loss on another Devin Booker 40-ball (on 65% shooting!) just tells me you either didn’t watch the game, have an agenda, don’t know ball, or all of the above – 8:34 PM

Suns are a +2 in Devin Booker’s 34 minutes and a -12 in the 10 minutes he sat. Those minutes to start 2Qs and 4Qs continue to be disorganized, and it’s usually what fuels these awful 4th quarters – 8:22 PM

The Suns have had a player score at least 40 points in a franchise-record 5 straight games. It looks like a safe bet that streak will be extended to 6 games tonight, with Devin Booker up to 33 points in the 3rd quarter. – 7:43 PM

Carter after landing actually stepped on Booker’s foot running back and that was as Booker was falling away so it was an awkward tweak. Booker is staying in. – 7:35 PM

Booker had made 10 straight shots before that miss and he was grabbing at his lower left leg after the landing. Carter’s contest altered his landing. Been a rough whistle for him tonight. – 7:33 PM

Devin Booker got up slowly after missing that last pull-up 3. Was looking for a foul call after it looked like he landed on the defender’s foot. Was smiling exasperatedly, so hopefully he’s all right – 7:32 PM
