pay for some mediocre defense with a couple early mid-range jumpers. Then he made a few more. And a few more."It felt like a double-sized rim out there," Booker said. "If I rise up, it’s going in."
Booker scored 25 points in the first half and had 26 more in a sublime third quarter that included 10 of 11 shooting. After a contested 3-pointer splashed through the net, "MVP! MVP!" chants broke out across Footprint Center, and the 26-year-old is certainly making an early season case."It’s the best," Booker said about the home crowd. "I don’t know how many sellout crowds that is in a row, but it’s impressive.
"A guy like that gets in a rhythm and it’s too late," Bulls guard Zach LaVine said. "He gets it going and it’s over."Even more remarkable than Booker's point total was his efficiency. He shot 20 of 25 from the field, going 6 of 7 from 3-point range. He iswith 50 points and 80% shooting through the first three quarters of a game, joining James Harden in 2017, according to ESPN Stats and Info.
It was Booker's second straight 40-point game. He had 44 in a victory at Sacramento on Monday night. The Suns have the best record in the Western Conference at 15-6 and have won 12 out of 13 home games.
