Devin Booker postgame press conference after the Phoenix Suns (13-11) fall to the Brooklyn Nets (13-10) 116-112 in the debut of the Big 3
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The night that Suns’ fans have been waiting for since June finally game to fruition 24 games in, as Phoenix’s Big 3 of Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal played their first game together.
However, it was not the night any fan hoped for, as the trio could not help the Suns, who were still missing a lot of key role players, pull off the victory over the Nets.
The star trio scored or assisted on 97 of the team’s 112 points. Booker led the way with 34 points and 12 assists.
“We’re not going to stress it too much,” Booker said. “We obviously have some things to work on, but it was just good to have everybody out there, well not everybody, but the three of us and just get to play off each other and get a feel for it.”
This game also marked the return of two of the most beloved members in Suns’ franchise history, as Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson came back to the Valley for the first time.
“I obviously keep up with them every night,” Booker said of The Twins. “My League Pass, the Nets are one of my favorite teams on there, have them starred. If I’m not watching them, I’m getting an alert or checking box scores”
