Player of the Game EFF 25 Devin Booker Points 28 Accuracy 10-25 Rebounds 5 Assists 11

Jalen Brunson hit a stepback jumper with 21.9 seconds remaining to tie the game. With the Suns holding the last possession, Booker took the ball, dribbled to his right and hit a tough fadeaway three-pointer over Julius Randle.

Booker finished the match with a double-double of 28 points and 11 assists. After the game, he told Tim MacMahon from ESPN that it was just a regular shot.

"For a game-winner, I'm feeling I'm taking that shot unless they super blitz me to where I can't even see the hoop," Booker said. "Any soft pressure like that, I feel like if I raise up and I have it on my right side that nobody can really get to it. I know it sounds crazy, but it feels like an open shot, and when you let it go, it's good."

"He made a great shot. Fading out bounds, 3-pointer over two people. You got to tap him on the butt and say, 'Good job.' He made a great shot. Not really much you can do about it," Knicks' Julius Randle said.

With 11 wins and 6 losses, the Suns are currently third in the Western Conference, while the Knicks are seventh in the Eastern Conference with 9 wins and 7 losses.
