BBNBA: Devin Booker's 31 points propel Suns to top of Western Conference
On Tuesday night, the BBN had a fun time celebrating Kentucky’s upset win over No. 6 Duke in the Champions Classic, but a former Cat had some fun himself out on the west coast.
Devin Booker led the Phoenix Suns to a 120-112 win over the Utah Jazz on the road to make the Suns the top seed in the Western Conference. Booker put up 31 points on 11-20 (5-9 3PT) shooting while also recording four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals on the night as well.
The Suns now sit at 9-2 on the year, and only the Oklahoma City Thunder can say they have that record in the West.
