The New Orleans Pelicans shocked the NBA on Tuesday night when they took down the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs.
When it was all said and done, the Pelicans – who fought to even secure the eighth seed – won 125-114 against the first-seeded Suns.
The Suns didn’t go quietly as they had six players scoring double-digits.
One of those players was Devin Booker, who had an incredible night before an injury sidelined him and took him out of the game.

Booker made an incredible three-point shot that left him flat on his backside.
He then made the moment even sweeter by participating in a cute fist bump with a baby sitting courtside.
It was a wholesome moment for the young Suns star and came only moments before he hurt himself.
Booker Out?
Booker put up 31 points in just 25 minutes before he was sent back to the locker room with an apparent injury.
The team announced that he was dealing with a hamstring injury and is expected to undergo treatment and testing on Wednesday.
Only then will the team know how severe the injury is.
The Suns are known for their “next man up” mentality so they are sure that even if they lose Booker, they have a good shot at winning this series.
However, they lost the game on Tuesday without Booker so there are more than a few Phoenix fans who are a bit nervous right now.
This is doubly true because the series is now headed back to New Orleans and the fanbase there will be ready to root on their Pelicans.
The Suns are about to enter enemy territory – and they might do it without one of their biggest stars.
