Devin Booker of the Suns makes history with a huge game against the Nets

The The Phoenix Suns are in desperate need of winsand that’s exactly what they got on Wednesday night with a 108-84 triumph over the Brooklyn Nets. The Suns stars came out to play and led their team to a comfortable victory that was much needed to block out all the outside noise surrounding the team.

Devin Booker led the Suns on Wednesday night with 32 points and six assists. Booker had an efficient night from the field, finishing 14-for-24 and 3-for-8 from downtown. With this performance, Booker officially reached 200 career 30-point games, becoming the 10th shooting guard in NBA history to reach that mark.

Booker’s effortless performance continued a recent hot streak for the Suns star. He now has seven 30-point games in his last nine for the Suns, and they have managed to win six of those games. They really needed his input as they try to find a rhythm and identity on the offensive end, and Phoenix is ​​starting to play better basketball as a result.

The The Suns will need Booker to continue playing well in due course, especially if they have great craft in the works. The Suns were the top team linked to Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, who publicly requested a trade. If the Suns were to give up Bradley Beal for Butler, it would take some time for the new group of stars to come together, so the Suns would have to rely on Booker and his individual scoring ability to carry them on some nights.

Regardless of the adjustment to the new roster if that happens, a trade seems like the only way to get the Suns into contention like they want to be. The current version of the team is not competing at the NBA’s highest level, and the Suns will definitely want to get the most out of the core of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Making a deal and relying on Booker to maintain this level of play might be the best way to go about it.
