Booker, for his part, walked with 32 points and 9 assists against the bottom of the Western Conference. “I think we were a little more aggressive in the second half, but you can’t stop Book’ and KD from doing what they know how to do. Our guys did everything they could, and now we must move forward,” reacted Gregg Popovich, already turned towards the reception… of the Suns this Monday.
“We were treated to a very classy Devin Booker this evening. He scored and passed. He controlled the game perfectly, it was really an excellent performance on his part,” he said. Franck Vogel, the coach of Phoenix, sixth in the Western Conference. Also note Kevin Durant’s 25 points and Bradley Beal’s double-double (13 points and 12 assists).
