“Played well. He made some great extra passes out the pocket to open up some corner 3s on the backside. He was setting great screens and he was active on both ends.”

“Ideally, you want things figured out, but you also want adversity through the regular season. And we’ll take it right now. You want that hurt feeling when it doesn’t cost you a game in the playoffs or the play-in, if that’s the situation.” Devin Booker after #Suns win at LAC. pic.twitter.com/qytq2r0g38 – 3:46 AM

OK.
Had to finish writing shorter version of takeaways after postgame locker room availability.
Just posted that.
Talked to Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Thaddeus Young and Grayson Allen after game.

13-0 Suns fourth quarter run gave them the lead, then 3s by Durant and Booker have sent the fans here to the exits
120-108 Suns lead with 1:59 left. Clippers use their final timeout.
They had their chances, but Clippers missed 8 of 9 3s and have failed to get to FT line in 4th. – 12:38 AM

Suns 80.6% FT shooting team.
Big 3: Booker 88.5%, Durant 85.3%, Beal 80.3%.
My point?
Those three handle the ball the most, get into the paint the most, but because there is an emphasis on taking 3s, the Suns may not be fully maximizing strength of being great FT team. #Suns – 12:31 AM

The Suns’ stars are on the court: Booker has 16, KD has 4 … but the best player out there? It’s obvious. Bones Hyland. He’s got 15 points and four assists in his fifth start this season.

Gerald Bourguet: Devin Booker on how the Suns have a loss like this: “[They] just came in there ready to play, and we weren’t.” I followed up on the level of frustration in the locker room. “Chillin’. Another chance tomorrow.” pic.twitter.com/2Mfpz7lh2f -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / April 10, 2024
Maxey joined an exclusive list of players to tally three 50-point games before turning 24 years old. Rick Barry did it seven times. James, Wilt Chamberlain and Luka Doncic each did it five times. Along with Maxey, the group of players who did it just three times are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum. Iconic high-level scorers like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson and Kevin Durant couldn’t reach the half-century mark in three games as often as Maxey did before blowing out 24 candles. -via Clutch Points / April 9, 2024
