Devin Booker: Suns treating every game like it's Game 7
Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns got the job done once again in Game 2 of the NBA Finals with a 118-108 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. However, Booker knows the job isn't finished just yet.
After an impressive 31-point performance in just his second Finals appearance, Booker said the Suns aren't taking their feet off the gas pedal just because they're up 2-0 in the series.
Booker has arguably been Phoenix's best player through two Finals games. The 24-year-old is averaging 29 points, 3.5 rebounds and six assists per game while shooting 43.5% from the field and 35.4% from deep.
His performance has even drawn praise from NBA greats Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, among others. After Game 2, Booker and Wade were seen sharing a moment before exiting the court.
Booker even believes the late Kobe Bryant is watching over him as the Finals roll on. The two-time All-Star said during a recent interview with ESPN's Malika Andrews that Bryant, his mentor and idol, would tell him to finish the job.
While the job isn't finished just yet, the Suns own an impressive 2-0 lead over the Bucks and will be looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead in a pivotal Game 3 on Sunday in Milwaukee.
