Booker barely misses his 1st regular-season triple-double, still leads Suns past Clippers 114-103

Booker Nearly Achieves First Regular-Season Triple-Double

Devin Booker scored 21 points, collected 10 rebounds, and dished out nine assists as the Phoenix Suns defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 114-103 on Saturday night. This marked the Suns' second victory over the Clippers in just three days.

Game Highlights

Mark Williams added 19 points to help Phoenix, which has now won four of its last five games.
The Suns maintained a lead throughout the fourth quarter, with Booker's crucial three-point play at 2:59 sealing their escape when the Clippers had narrowed the gap to five points.
Booker narrowly missed his first regular-season triple-double in his 11-year, 683-game career, lacking only one additional assist after returning with 7:41 remaining.

“Booker's only triple-double came in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals in June 2021 — also against the Clippers.”

Clippers’ Performance

Ivica Zubac led the Clippers with 21 points and 15 rebounds.
John Collins contributed 19 points during the Clippers' fourth straight loss while short-handed.
James Harden posted 13 points and 13 assists but shot 2-for-10 on three-point attempts.

Season Context

The Suns previously defeated the Clippers 115-102 in Phoenix on Thursday.
This season, the two teams have met three times, with Phoenix winning twice.
Jalen Green left the court in the final minute of the first quarter due to a suspected re-injury of his right hamstring, an injury that also caused him to miss Phoenix’s first eight games.

Summary: Despite narrowly missing a triple-double, Devin Booker's all-around performance helped the Suns secure their second recent win over the Clippers, who continue to struggle with injuries and shooting.
