On April 20, Beijing time, the Western Playoffs Suns' home game against the Pelicans was in progress. At halftime, the Suns led the Pelicans 61-56 into the halftime. Sun star Booker felt hot in the hand, shooting 12 of 18 in the halftime, 7 of 10 from three-point range, and 31 points!
Booker scored 16 points in the first quarter, hitting four three-pointers and two mid-range shots. But the score was still scorching, and Ingram scored 11 points in the first quarter.
The second quarter began with Devin Booker's back-to-back singles success as the Suns hit a 10-0 surge, seven points ahead of the Pelicans. The Pelicans coach made a personnel adjustment, with McCollum and Trae Murphy hitting three-pointers each to close the score. Three seconds before halftime, the Suns fired a sideline ball tactic, and Booker ran out of the slot and hit a long-range three-pointer.
The Pelicans' defense barely lost ground, and many defenses were blocked in Booker's face, but Booker was able to score. In the second quarter, he hit consecutive three-pointers, igniting the Phoenix home. The Booker Suns scored at least 30 points in the second half of their playoff career (including the first and second halves) (G6 scored 33 points at halftime against the Lakers in the playoffs last season), the only one in team history.
Kuzma, who was watching the ball, blew up Booker with a picture of Kobe: "Booker's current state: Get out of my way!" Hahaha. Crawford also tweeted, "Devon Booker is outrageous!! ”
