BOSTON — Phoenix Suns All-Star Devin Booker likes it at TD Garden.
Like, really likes it.
Back at the arena in which he scored a career-high 70 points in his second NBA season, Booker scored 23 straight over the second and third quarters in the March 16 game against the Boston Celtics.
Booker reached 70 points against the Celtics on March 24, 2017.
Monday's scoring outburst was Booker’s second-longest scoring streak and second-longest in Suns franchise history. He went for 25 straight points to set the franchise record on Dec. 17, 2022.
Booker scored 58 points in that game, leading the Suns to a 24-point comeback victory, 118-114, over the New Orleans Pelicans in Phoenix.
He had 35 through three quarters versus the Celtics in Monday's game.
After a six-point first quarter, Booker went for 13 points in the second quarter and 16 in the third.
Booker’s first bucket in the 23-point eruption stretch came on a 19-foot jumper with 4:03 left in the first half, and his final one was an 18-foot jumper with 8:39 remaining in the third quarter.
Phoenix was trailing, 91-86, after three quarters.
