Devin Booker, for his part, recorded 14/24 shooting and 3/7 from the perimeter, also distributing 9 assists.
The point guard was phenomenal in directing, a facet in which he was accompanied by Bradley Beal, the player the Suns need in their ideal world when Durant and Booker take on the highest volume of shots. The former Wizards player, with few shots but effective – a 6/10 -, scored 13 points and distributed up to 12 assists, thus matching the scoring weight of the other two stars.
