Phoenix guard Devin Booker bagged an astonishing mass of 51 points in just three quarters as the Suns domineered the Chicago Bulls by 132-113. Under just 31 minutes on the court, the shooting guard fired 20-for-25 from the field and went 6-for-7 from deep, making it one of the most productive scoring performances in NBA history. He became the second player in the last 25 years to score 50 points with 80% shooting accuracy in the first three-quarters of a game along with James Harden in November 2017.
The guard and centre Deandre Ayton finished with 30 points and 14 rebounds. He also asserted his brilliance by the first half, encompassing 41 points and providing the Suns with a 21-point halftime lead. In the third, Booker went bullish on the bulls themselves and started dropping 26 points to slay the game. He shot 10-for-11 in the quarter.
