The Phoenix Suns were able to tie their second-round series against the Denver Nuggets at 2-2.
Phoenix was able to win both of their home games and now we have a best-of-three series.
One player that has carried the Suns throughout the playoffs has been Devin Booker.
He is playing at an elite level in the playoffs and is scoring the ball at an incredible rate.
Colin Cowherd is impressed by how Booker plays without any drama.
Cowherd said, “With Booker you get the upside, but you don’t really get any drama.”

So far in the postseason, Booker is averaging 36.8 points and shooting 61.7% from the field.
It is rare for a guard to shoot that well from the field.
Over the past two games, Booker has only missed nine shots.
Since Chris Paul went out, Booker has had the ball in his hands more often.
He is giving the Suns everything they need to win this series.
The Nuggets simply have no answer for Booker, as he is making shots from everywhere on the floor.
It will be interesting to see how his play changes on the road.
Game 5 is back in Denver, and the Suns struggled there in the first two games of the series.
Their hopes will once again rest on the shoulders of Booker as he tries to will his team to a Game 5 win.
The Suns have almost no bench to work with, meaning all of the pressure is on Booker and Kevin Durant.
They each have to score 30+ points to give Phoenix any chance of winning.
Denver better come up with a better game plan to slow down Booker in Game 5 or they will be in trouble.
