Devin Booker led the way with 26 points, and the Phoenix Suns survived a late scare, beating the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night for their third-straight victory.
Devin Booker put up 26 points and the host Phoenix Suns held off a late charge by the Los Angeles Clippers for a 111-109 win on Monday night.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was not selected as a reserve for the 2025 NBA All-Star Game.
