On March 31, Beijing time, the Phoenix Suns defeated the Golden State Warriors 107-103 on the road, and the team won nine consecutive wins. However, in this game, Booker did not perform well, scoring only 22 points on 5-of-21 shooting and 2-of-8 three-pointers. At the same time, the US media has counted Booker's average scores against the Warriors since the beginning of this season.
First, on Nov. 30, in the first game between the two sides, Booker shot 4-of-9, including 0-of-2 from three-point range to score 10 points, when the Suns beat the Warriors 104-96.
Second, in the Christmas game on December 25, Booker shot 5 of 19 and his 5-of-5 three-pointers to score only 13 points, and the Warriors beat the Suns 116-107.
As a result, Booker averaged just 15 points per game in those three games, shooting 28.6 percent on 14-of-49 shooting and 3-of-15 three-point range shooting at just 20 percent from three-point range. Therefore, this season's Warriors can be said to be Booker's nemesis.
But since Paul joined the Suns, he and Booker have found the winning formula. Paul and Booker played in 120 games together, and in those games, the Suns had a record of 93 wins and 27 losses, with a 77.5% win rate.
In today's game, when the two sides were very glued, Paul hit the key two points in the final moments, scoring 15 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.
