3 years agoPhoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker did not see his production stunted in the slightest upon the return of Chris Paul during Thursday's win over Denver, as Booker poured in a season-best 49 points on 16-for-25 shooting. Adding in 10 assists, it was far and away the most significant statistical night for Booker this season, coming five years to the day of his 70-point game vs. the Celtics. Much like that performance, key for Booker on Thursday was his ability to get to the free-throw line, where he went 15-for-17. Even as the Suns have sewed up the top spot in the Western Conference, they appear to be trying to peak heading into the postseason. Booker could face a minutes cap over the final eight games, but his next outing comes Sunday against the 76ers.--Jesse Borek
