Devin Booker drops an incredible 47 points that beat the Los Angeles Lakers 113-100 on Thursday.
The long-standing defending champion also avoided the humiliation from basketball spectators to be beaten at the first round of the NBA playoff.
In an interview with Booker, he said that it was a tough match, and they did not expect that the Phoenix Sun had to go through them in the first round. The Lakers were the first ones to lead the game, so they have to regroup and readjust the gameplay. The Phoenix Sun will be facing the Denver Nuggets, who recently eliminated the Portland Trail Blazers with a concluding score of 126-115 in Game 6.
From the first quarter, it is evident that the Lakers have been struggling with keeping up with the Suns, as they never had a double-digit disadvantage before.
Davis also shared that he’s dedicating his life to the game, as he discussed what it’s like balancing his life as a student and making adjustments to his team. He also mentioned that he’s sacrificing a lot of hours for practice, so he wanted to perform on a full show on Game 6.
LA Lakers star player LeBron James led the Lakers by scoring 29 points, however, they weren’t able to recover, especially the massive impact of losing Davis’ normal gameplay due to a groin injury. He was previously interviewed that they’re doing double efforts to win Game 6. He only lasted 6 scoreless minutes, which the Suns had taken advantage of by scoring 22 points in the first quarter.
