“Chapter Closed”: Bradley Beal, Tyrese Maxey and Other NBA Stars Shower Praise For Devin Booker’s Heroics vs Knicks

Devin Booker had a way of shutting down the Knicks. He led Phoenix to a victory with a clutch three-pointer that threw both the team and their fans into disarray. It was spectacular enough for pros across the league to express it. His teammate Bradley Beal is leading the charge. 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey is also in awe of DBook’s skill, as he joined in on the social media praise.

In a neck-and-neck game, the Phoenix Suns won 116-113. New York tried its hardest to overcome the score gap, but Devin Booker was the game-clincher they couldn’t get past.

Even Knicks fans couldn’t hold their awe for Book. His teammates, though, were the most excited. Bradley Beal summed up Booker’s cinematic moment in two words on social media. “Chapter closed!” He truly ended the game on a high note. Kevin Durant was ruled out shortly before the game started. In his absence, Booker was the hero Phoenix needed.

After a shaky first half, Booker started the fourth quarter with a bucket and on a positive note. His teammates were tremendous at closing the gap. In a thrilling back-and-forth with the game that could’ve gone any way, Booker once again side-stepped Julius Randle and scored with 1.7 seconds left on the clock.

Booker had a few weak plays in the first half. Whatever made him gather himself and get into gear in the second half is worth a replay or two.

Tyrese Maxey, who has had his share of show-stopping moments for Philly this season, couldn’t help but comment “D BOOK SO NICE!”, marveling at what the Suns’ guard just did.

It was not only the Suns’ team that was in awe online. Fans couldn’t be gladder to see the coolest moment in the season so far.

Devin Booker responds to his game

Phoenix Suns reporter, Duane Rankin caught up with Book to gauge his mood after winning the game for his team. When he asked if taking that shot was the right decision, Booker said, “Yeah.” Obviously, his confidence paid off.

Rankin also asked Yuta Watanabe what he thought about the shot. “That was crazy,” he stated, which was what Suns and Knicks fans were feeling. His own teammate, Chimezie Metu, even bruised him in a minor scuffle during the game.

The Suns can sleep the game off easy before their next game against the Raptors. They have a dynamic powerhouse on his side.
