Devin Booker and the Suns beat the Clippers in Game 5 on Tuesday to win the series and advance to a second-round date with the Nuggets.
Booker had another huge game for Phoenix, finishing with 47 points in the 136–130 win at home.
He joined the NBA on TNT crew after the victory for a live interview where he learned he broke Charles Barkley’s Suns record for most playoff games with 40 or more points. Barkley had held the record with five, Booker now has six.
You know who really loved hearing that news? Shaquille O’Neal.
