On a night Stephen Curry and the Warriors were off, Devin Booker was the best shooter on the court.
Booker dropped 32 points, shooting 61.9% on the night, and scored or assisted on the last 15 Suns points in the fourth, helping the Suns hold off the Warriors for a 108-104 victory.

None of the other stars in this game had it going: Kevin Durant 7-of-22, Stephen Curry 8-of-20, Klay Thompson 6-of-18, and Chris Paul 4-of-15. Booker, specifically point Booker as he takes over the Suns’ offense, was the difference.
Golden State trailed by 15 at the half but won the third quarter 40-19, giving the Warriors a six-point lead heading into the fourth. The Suns won a sloppy fourth 28-18 to earn the victory.
