WATCH: Devin Booker’s Shaqtin a Fool Moment During Pacers vs Suns; Misses Wide Open Windmill Dunk

The Phoenix Suns have been cruising in the 2021-22 NBA Regular Season. Under the leadership of veteran star Chris Paul and the scoring prowess of Devin Booker, the Suns have managed to replicate their dominance of last season by currently holding first place in the West with a record of 36-9.

In their most recent outing, the Suns hosted the Indiana Pacers at the Footprint Center in Phoenix for a regular-season matchup. Seated 13th in the East, the Pacers looked to earn a much-needed win but failed to do so as the Suns took the game 113-103, despite Booker not having his best game.

Devin Booker’s Performance against the Pacers

Even though Booker just managed to score 11 points against the Pacers, the Suns managed to seal victory behind strong performances from Chris Paul and Mikal Bridges. Added to this, Booker would also go on to finish the game 0-6 from the three-point line.

But what made matters worse for Booker in the game was a missed dunk while being left unguarded on a fastbreak. This open miss will most likely earn him a spot on Shaqtin’ a Fool alongside several other hilarious moments in the most recent NBA games.

Although Booker’s possible inclusion on Shaqtin’ a Fool isn’t an indication of how his future performances will turn out to be, he will still look to bounce back for his team. After all, the Suns will need every bit of contribution that they can get, especially from their stars.

Devin Booker and Chris Paul this Season

Devin Booker has been having a solid season so far. Currently averaging 24.3 points per game this season, Booker has been the Suns’ leading scorer. His best performance came against the San Antonio Spurs on 17th January 2022, where he scored 48 points.

Added to this, Chris Paul has been dishing out assists left, right, and center. He currently leads the league with 10.1 assists per game. To take things further, CP3’s assists have generated 1113 points, which is 22% of all the points scored by the Suns.
