The Warriors have had a dream start to their season Notably, their best start since their record 73-9 season. And they are still without Klay Thompson and James Wiseman in their lineup. They have clearly emerged as a because of the shooting supremacy as compared to their opponents. On the other hand, Phoenix is enjoying yet another great season under the leadership of Chris Paul.

It will take a mammoth effort for the Suns to keep the streak as Devin Booker won’t be checking in to the game. But one has to give him credit for not going to the locker room to get treatment, and instead staying on the sidelines to cheer for his team.

Devin booker out the rest of the game that could help the dubs big time

Jordan Poole started off hot with a career high 16 first quarter points for the Warriors. Both teams were going bucket for bucket in the initial minutes. Phoenix dominated the game with their big men DeAndre Ayton and JaVale McGee who got to their spot with ease. But for Book, he was just about getting things going before going down. He checked off the game with 10 points under his belt.

Booker is the main force that drives the Suns’ offense. He is an elite scorer and his loss will be felt by the Suns without a doubt. However, they hold a two point advantage over the Warriors at the half. Do you think Chris Paul can work his magic and steal the game against the Warriors? Let us know in the comments below.
