Booker made 24-26 free throws on the night. He added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
Boston was blowing the Suns out 66-43 at halftime, so Booker could just let it fly in the second half.
Credit needs to go to Alan WIlliams for Bookers success. He collected 14 rebounds and the Suns as a team did well in getting to the glass which gave Booker the chance at more shots. Boston barely out-boarded the Suns 50-49
