By percentage, the second-best performance ever. Kapono's beats his by less than 1%.
With the shots Booker made, he would have broken the record by Kapono I heard. Might not have been by %, but points wise, which is how the game was played.
Devin went 4-5 on the final rack, including the last one. That's worth 8 points under the new rules, 5 under the old rules. So Devin would have tied Kapono's performance under the old rules.

Ah, good observation. Either way, it was a record

I’m just glad at least one Sun won at something...

Was LMA hurt? He only played 4 minutes. Also, poor Goran Dragic with only 11 minutes and 3 shot attempts. At least everyone on Steph's team got a decent amount of time.
Go Suns!

Fergie really nailed the national anthem.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

yea he sat out Spurs last two games I believe and was not expected to play much. Butler was a surprise DNP because he was sick. I'm just glad that the guys did what they said they would and this year wasn't the farce it had become recently.

Oh, boy. That was... comical.

It may have been "on pitch" as ESPN said but it sure was shrill.

Best quote was from somebody named Molly Knight:
I’ve seen the national anthem performed hundreds of times but never in the key of “Happy Birthday Mr. President”
