"Just like KAT 62": NBA fans hilariously troll Devin Booker dropping another 60-point game in a loss

Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker exploded for a season-high 62 points in a losing cause against the Indiana Pacers on the road on Friday. And NBA fans jumped on him on social media for it.

‘Book’ got it going early in the contest, setting a Suns franchise record for scoring in a quarter with 29 points in the opening canto. He went 10-of-14 from the floor and 4-of-6 from three.

The former Kentucky standout continued to torch the net with his hot shooting as the game progressed. But in the end, it was not enough to tow the team to victory, bowing to the Pacers, 133-131.

Some NBA fans gave him a hard time, trolling Devin Booker for still failing to lead the team to a win despite his scoring explosion. Some of the comments alluded to college teammate Karl-Anthony Town’s recent 62-point performance in a loss.

Below are some of the comments on X (formerly Twitter):

Devin Booker’s 62 points are part of another scoring spree in the NBA

By scoring a season-high 62 points, Devin Booker added to an already-eventful week in scoring in the NBA that has seen multiple players score 60 points or more.

The Suns All-Star got his in their 133-131 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Propelled by a scoring explosion in the first quarter, where he already had 29 points, Booker went on to notch 62 markers on a 59.5% shooting clip (22-of-37, and 50% from three (6-of-12).

It was the second-highest scoring he has had in his career so far, behind the 70 he put up in a loss to the Boston Celtics in March 2017.

Also on fire on Friday was Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic, who went for 73 points in their 148-143 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

‘The Don’ scored on a torrid pace, going 25-of-33 from the floor (75.8%) and 8-of-13 from three (61.5%). For good measure, he added 10 rebounds and seven assists.

Doncic’s output tied the fourth-most in NBA history (David Thompson/Denver). It is only bested by the 78 of Wilt Chamberlain (Philadelphia), the 81 of Kobe Bryant (LA Lakers) and the 100 of Chamberlain (Philadelphia).

Earlier this week, big men Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns exploded for 70 and 62 points, respectively.
