Devin Booker carries Suns over Grizzlies in the NBA In-Season Tournament

The Phoenix Suns are still hoping for the wild card spot for the NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals and Devin Booker balled out in their most recent game with 40 points.

Booker admitted that as this was the NBA In-Season Tournament, he treated it like a playoff game.

"No disrespect to the Grizzlies," Booker told reporters after the game. "I wouldn't take the shot if it wasn't the In-Season Tournament, but we need it."

In eight games this season, Booker has averaged 29.6 points, 8.6 assists and 5.5 assists. However, his season-high against the Grizzlies was his best performance thus far.
