D-Book also commented on Eric Gordon’s outstanding game vs. the Rockets. Gordon scored a season-high 27 points on 7-11 shooting from beyond the arc. Booker confessed, “I am not surprised by his performance,” noting that Gordon knows the Rockets’ arena very well as he played there for 7 seasons.
With Phoenix’s recent win over Houston, they are now back to .500, and, if the season were to end today, would make the Play-In tournament. This is all despite injuries that have plagued them over the past two months.
