Booker MVP
The Suns burned hot as they jumped out to a 14-2 lead. Meanwhile, Orlando missed 12 of its first 13 shots. The offensive woes continue right at tip off.
While the Magic sputtered with hardly anyone active for the game, Devin Booker went in for the early kill, scoring 17 points before Monty Williams called a timeout with about three minutes to spare. Some people might called this game Booker vs. what’s left of the Magic.
Booker scored 27 points, Mikal Bridges added 21 and the Suns cruised to their sixth-straight victory, beating the Magic 109-90 in a game that was never really close. Booker has been on his game recently on a winning high. His stats remain the same as previous seasons, but his mentality is on a whole new level and it is definitely showing.
Looking Ahead
The Suns host Brooklyn on Tuesday night and on Wednesday the Magic will take on the New York Knicks with hopes of a better turn out than their Sunday evening went.
