Devin Booker stole the night for his Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Moreover, Kevin Durant also had a big game, dropping 39 points to secure the victory.
While all the praise went to Devin Booker, Durant also received some flowers.
Skip Bayless, for instance, took to Twitter to celebrate one of his favorite players in the league.
By his standards, Kevin Durant had a poor shooting night – 12-31 … yet he scored 39 with 9 rebounds and 8 assists. That speaks to his all-time greatness.

The two-time NBA champion added nine rebounds and eight assists to his personal statline.
Durant is looking very good in this series and is quietly filling up the stat sheet
The Suns put him in a good position to win the championship, and even if they don’t make it past this round, this team will be in a great position next season.
Durant remains one of the top talents in the league, which is why the Nuggets are having difficulties with him.
As Bayless mentioned, Game 3 was another example of Durant being effective, even though Booker was the highlight of the night.
This series can get more interesting if the Suns tie it in Game 4.
The winner of this series will make it difficult for either the Golden State Warriors or Los Angeles Lakers in the next round.
We’re watching two of the best teams in the league, and it wouldn’t surprise anyone if one of them made it to the Finals.
