Devin Booker didn't hold back in the latest battle with the Phoenix Suns newest rival.
The Pelicans led most of the way on Saturday, and built up a massive 24 point lead midway through the third quarter. That, though, is when the Suns turned it on. They closed out the third on a 25-6 run that cut the deficit to just five points to start the fourt, completely wiping away the Pelicans’ advantage.
The Suns finally re-took the lead with 5:24 left in the game after a Chris Paul 3-pointer, which was their first lead since the opening minutes. From there, the two teams bounced back and forth before surging ahead late while holding the Pelicans to just two points in a four-minute span to seal the four-point win.
Outside of Booker, Chris Paul dropped 18 points and had eight assists for the Suns. He hit a clutch 3-pointer with just 20 seconds left in the game to give them a six-point lead, too.
