The Phoenix Suns, the best in the league, continue to reap victories.
It has been a team effort, but Devin Booker’s play has been a key factor in his success this season. On MLK Day, he broke out with a season-high 48 points and also dished out six assists in the team’s 121-107 win at San Antonio.
He started out on fire, scoring 18 of the team’s 32 points in the first quarter on 7-of-10 shooting from the field.

He scored another 16 in the third period, helping the Suns survive the Spurs’ 35-point quarter. Over the final 17 minutes, Phoenix improved their defense and turned a 12-point deficit into a comfortable 14-point win by outscoring the hosts 51-25 in that span.
Booker’s 48 points are a season high, the fourth-highest scored by a player in the 2023-22 season thus far, and is fourth-highest on MLK Day. This is the 15th 40-point game of his career, tying him with Amar’e Stoudemire for the most in Suns franchise history.
This performance puts the 6-foot-5 shooting guard in a company of one.
