"Book going NUTSO": LeBron James and Others React To an "Flamethrower" Devin Booker Performance vs Pelicans

Devin Booker led the Phoenix Suns to a miracle comeback as they erase a massive 24-point lead to comeback and snatch victory. LeBron James and others acknowledged Devin’s unconscious performance.

The Suns were on the verge of losing until Devin lit up on fire and had 54 points with 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The comeback was almost complete. He finished with 58-5-5. Flamethrower.

 

The Pelicans made a few blunders, both defensively and offensively. And the Suns capitalized on it. They led the charge and thanks to some stellar rebounding from Josh Okogie, along with Chris Paul hitting a few big shots, they completed the comeback.

But tonight is about Devin Booker. Even LeBron James paid close attention to him.

Tonight’s performance was just a sign and a salient reminder that he is becoming one of the league’s best players. A fledging performance that can only be described as worthy of the rise to the throne.
