In the second clip, Devin Booker, who was on fire the whole second quarter, capped it off with a beautiful contested three-pointer with a second to go in the half. Beal threw off his beanie in disbelief.
Lastly, Eric Gordon crosses up Matisse Thybulle and drains the floater. Beal puts his hands on his head, as he can’t believe it.
This Suns’ team could have a lot of nasty plays all season long. Beal’s reactions yesterday could encapsulate how Suns’ fans feel all year long watching this team.
