LOS ANGELES -- Devin Booker has been a good scorer since he came into the league in 2016. But he has taken it to another level since Kevin Durant joined the Phoenix Suns in February.
Booker scored a game-high 45 points on a blistering 18-for-29 shooting (62%) in the Suns' 129-124 victory over the Clippers in Game 3 on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena, as Phoenix took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven first-round series.
Booker has now scored 109 points in the first three games of the series, the most for a Suns player since Charles Barkley (112 points) in 1994.
