Booker ended with 19 points in the contest. It was a tightly contested game between the Bucks and the Suns. There were 15 lead changes and the game was tied 10 times.
Regardless, Booker unleashed that killer instinct in the final quarter. He hit tough basket after tough basket. Not to mention, this is the Suns' first four-game winning streak since November.
Funny enough, the shot itself wasn't meant for Booker. It was originally meant for Kevin Durant. As Booker mentioned postgame, it was a similar play to what they drew up in the Summer Olympics.
Still, Booker got to his favorite spot within the mid-range. He knocked down that 17th, 18th, and 19th points of the game. His teammates immediately surrounded him with chest bumps, dap-ups and overall excitement.
The win itself marks arguably the best game of the season. It was grueling, without a plethora of three-pointers or overall offense. Overall, it was a slugfest.
