With the stamina to outlast rivals and the determination to keep attacking, Phoenix guard Devin Booker has sparked the Suns to within two wins of an NBA title.
The 24-year-old son of a 1990s NBA journeyman scored 31 points, grabbed five rebounds and passed off six assists over a game-high 44 minutes to lead Phoenix over Milwaukee 118-108 in Thursday’s game two of the NBA Finals.

After starting 2-of-10, Booker finished shooting 12-of-25 for the game, including 7-of-12 from 3-point range.
