Devin Booker scored 37 points, and the Suns won going away to break their 13-game losing streak.
The Phoenix Suns snapped their 13-game losing streak, saving the team from setting another franchise record for losing.
The Oklahoma City Thunder showed Phoenix how much they know that their 6th seed is all locked up - by not even showing up for the second half.
Before they knew it, the Suns scored a season-high 71 points on the way to a 21-point halftime lead. All this while Russell Westbrook struggled through a 1-12 shooting start.
The Suns came out a bit slow to start the third, letting the lead get down to 11 at one point, but then the Suns made shots again and pushed it right back out to 23 by the end of the third.
In the fourth, the Thunder tried again to make a run but Devin Booker made FOUR big three-point plays to get the Suns lead back to 23.
Devin Booker would not be denied, scoring 37 points (21 in the fourth) while dishing 4 assists and grabbing 5 rebounds.
T.J. Warren had a monster game in the first three quarters before Booker’s outburst, pouring in 21 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
The absolute joke part of the game is HOW BADLY these visiting/pseudo Thunder fans wanted that Westbrook triple double - cheering every Westbrook play, booing Thunder players for passing the ball AFTER receiving a Westbrook pass.
At one point, Devin Booker MUGGED for the fans when he made a shot as they chanted LETS GO WESTBROOK. Sorry Devin, but that’s what happens when your team is 22-57 and the only reason to go to the game is to watch RW.
Even as Westbrook shot free throws, down 19 points, the crowd chanted M-V-P.
And when Russ intentionally fouled Booker on his way out of the game for the night, the crowd actually booed Booker for mean-mugging them.
When Westbrook sat with 2 minutes left, the crowd filed out.
Westbrook finished with 23 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists.
As time wound down, the Suns faithful finally got to their feet to cheer the Suns as they won for the first time in a month.
