Even in his return after a one-game absence, it didn’t take the crafty Devin Booker very long to get lost again. A nightmare of the highest proportions to defend on the perimeter, the Phoenix Suns star hunts down a pick-and-roll matchup and wastes zero time getting to work, sending him into a tornado with a pair of between-the-leg misdirections and then a spin move.
