Durant capped off the night with a dagger three to seal the game with 18 seconds left to put Phoenix up four. Booker elected to give the ball up to Durant for the game-sealing shot.
After the game, Booker gave high praise to KD.
“I was super confident (he was going to make it),” Booker said. “He waved me off and told me to attack at first, and I forced it to him and said, ‘you go score the ball.'”
“That’s my favorite player. I’ve been watching that my whole entire life. So, it was good to see it live.”
