Devin Booker led the way for a Phoenix Suns victory on Tuesday night. The Suns evened up the series with the Clippers with a 123-109 win. Now the team will travel to Los Angeles looking to bring a series lead back to Phoenix. Booker and his teammates spoke with the media after last night's win. However, Booker probably didn't expect to hear one question that was asked of him. The question asked was, did the Suns need to prove they could win with Kevin Durant in the playoffs?
Obviously, Durant is one of the best players of his generation. So asking if the team needed to prove they could win with him may sound a little crazy. Booker quickly answered the question. A question that has never even crossed his mind. "That's a 2-time champ. A 2-time Finals MVP. He's proven enough. We didn't lose any games with each other in the regular season & we just dropped Game 1." In the video, Booker shares a hilarious reaction after hearing the question. Check the video out below.
Devin Booker Laughs Off Durant Question
Of course, the question was seeking a bizarre answer. However, Booker gave the right answer on the subject. Durant is a two-time champion, along with a 2-time Finals MVP. If the Suns couldn't make his addition work, then something would be terribly wrong. Oh yeah, as Booker said, the team went undefeated with Durant in the lineup during the regular season. Game 1 of the series with the Clippers was the team's first loss with Durant. That being the first loss is a pretty impressive statistic, in my mind.
The Suns don't look worried about getting over the playoff "hump." The question of winning Durant is just something the team has to deal with. But Booker and Paul know exactly how important Durant is to this team. The Suns will be back in action on Thursday against the Clippers. Hopefully, Devin Booker can handle having a Top 10 player of all time on the court with him. Spoiler alert, he will be able to. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here at HNHH.
