You Won't Believe The Stat Line Phoenix Suns' Devin Booker Had Against The Trail Blazers
The Phoenix Suns crushed the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday by a score of 119-74.
Even in the preseason a 45-point blowout is something to be surprised by in an NBA game.
The Suns had All-Star shooting guard Devin Booker looking to be in top-notch form after a season in which he and the Suns made the Finals last year (losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games).
Booker went off for 17 points on 60% from the field and 50% shooting from the three-point range in just 18 minutes of action.
At just 25 years old, the two-time All-Star has not even hit his prime yet, which should be a scary sight for rival teams around The NBA.
This kind of performance in a meaningless preseason game after he went all the way to the Finals, and then to Tokyo to play in the Olympics for Team USA this summer (and win a gold medal), is impressive and shows that he is right on track for another big time season this year.
