Suns’ Devin Booker Scores 70 Points In Boston

... Celtics Friday in Boston. BOSTON – Devin Booker scored 70 points, becoming the sixth different player in NBA history to reach that total, but the Boston Celtics got 34 points from Isaiah Thomas and outlasted the Phoenix Suns 130-120 on Friday night. Booker joined Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, David Robinson and Elgin Baylor as the NBA’s 70-point scorers. Baylor also held the previous record against the Celtics with 64 points in Minneapolis for the Lakers on Nov. 8, 1959. Just 20 years old, Booker scored 51 after halftime. The win was Boston’s third straight, and avenged its buzzer-beater loss in Phoenix earlier this month. The rematch was dominated early by the Celtics as they hit eight 3-pointers during a 37-point second quarter to grow their lead as high as 26 points. Chamberlain had six 70-point games and his 62 points on Jan. 14, 1962, had been the most in Boston. Phoenix has already been eliminated from playoff contention, and had only eight available players because of injuries. Younger ...

Devin Booker Scores Franchise-record 70 Points In Loss To Celtics

... first quarter. He would score 32 points in the next two quarters combined and then 28 in the final period. This was not just a selfish effort of chasing points, by the way. Booker had eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and a block in addition to his 70, playing 45 minutes on the night. He took 40 field goal attempts, going 24-of-26 from the free-throw line. The most remarkable stat may be Booker reaching 70 with only four three-point field goals. There was controversy, however, after head coach Earl Watson called timeouts and fouled when the game was essentially over in order to give Booker more time and rest. Watson said it was about letting his young players be great. "It’s about letting our kids be great. You got a problem with that? Do something. Simple as that.” __link__/j 344 RQVftz. — Chris Forsberg (@ESPNForsberg) March 25, 2017. Booker put more of an emphasis on what the moment meant for the team going through a rough season. He also said he understands where ...

Twitter Goes Insane After Devin Booker Drops 70 Points On Celtics

... a lot of free drinks thrown his way on Friday night - too bad he’s not old enough to drink them.

Celtics Forward Jae Crowder Takes Shot At Suns, Devin Booker Fires Back

... fire back. — Michael Lee (@Mr Michael Lee) March 25, 2017. The Celtics used rookie wing Jaylen Brown and guard Marcus Smart on Booker for a majority of the night. The fans in Boston were cheering for Booker in the closing moments of the game and that has been known to make Crowder angry in the past.

Devin Booker Hits Winning Shot, Suns Beat Mavericks

... 1.4 seconds left gave the Suns a 100-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. Booker scored 25 of his 36 points in the second half. He scored the Suns' final eight points, twice making tying baskets. After Matthews missed a 3-point attempt, Booker hit the winner. The Mavericks failed to get off a shot before time expired. Booker made 12 of 20 field goal attempts, and all 10 free throws. South Carolina Beats Baylor 70-50 to Advance to Elite Eight. "A dominant performance tonight, especially down the stretch," Phoenix coach Earl Watson said. "Devin played on another level. He's 20 years old, two game winners so far this year. He wanted to take the last shot and he's confident that it'll go in. The kid is going to be pretty special.". Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said the loss was his fault. "Clearly, we should have gone and double-teamed the guy the whole fourth quarter," Carlisle said. "I'm taking full responsibility for this whole thing. Next year when we play these guys again, we'll have to consider double-teaming him earlier.". The Suns have won four of six. They ended Dallas' ...

This Is What A Devin Booker Future Looks Like

... 20-year-olds. But what the Suns really need him from him against the Mavericks is consistent, explosive scoring. Bledsoe isn’t going, and the youngsters need the table set for them. The game is devolving, and the Nowitzki- Rick Carlisle expertise is about to take over. Booker needs to get cooking. Eddie Johnson says around the midway point of the third quarter, after a Devin Booker three: “.yeah, they need him to get hot.”. Booker pulls the Suns dead even by the end of the third, and takes a seat. Tyler Ulis bridges the gap with his typical trickery, while Marquese Chriss continues to volleyball spike blocked shots across the court. Is this what the Suns of tomorrow might look like. If so, Booker is their leader, and he knows his job. He enters in the fourth facing a 84-81 deficit created largely by something called a J. J. Barea. He goes to work. Eddie Johnson seems ...
