The Phoenix Suns made light work of the underwhelming Chicago Bulls at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
Devin Booker was in unstoppable form to lead the Western Conference leaders to a resounding 132-113 victory, with seven wins in their last eight games.
The three-time NBA All-Star finished the game with 51 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists, leading both teams in scoring with his first 50-point game of the season.
With 20 of his 25 field goal attempts, five of his six free throws, and six of his seven 3-point attempts made in just three quarters, Booker displayed effective shooting.
The 26-year-old combined with teammate Deandre Ayton for 81 points to lead the Suns to their 15th win of the season, the best in the Western Conference and the third-best in the NBA this season.
Ayton, who is of Nigerian descent, had his first 30-point display of the season; finishing the game with a double-double of 30 points and 14 rebounds in 32 minutes of play.
The towering center missed just one of the eight free throws he attempted, scoring 11 of his 17 field-goal attempts with a 64.7% field-goal percentage.
Five-time All-Star, DeMar DeRozan was unable to assist the Chicago Bulls to win their second straight game despite contributing a team-high 29 points and 7 rebounds in 32 minutes.
The Bulls are 12th in the Eastern Conference with three wins from their last nine games, suffering three of their last six defeats at the United Center in Chicago.
