The Phoenix Suns, led by Devin Booker, are currently going through their most challenging phase of the campaign. As they faced the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, the Suns learned the hard way that there was no rest for the weary after suffering a 25-point rout at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder without Shai Gilgeous or Alexander. For the Suns’ benefit, Booker is still laying claim to a share of the Pelicans organization.
Booker, who has a reputation for killing Pelicans players, resumed his regular activities on Monday night. The Suns star started off blazing hot, eager to put his rough game against the Thunder in the past. He ended up scoring 52 points as Phoenix defeated them 124-111.
Devin Booker made history by completely dismantling a certain team as he scored 52 points against the Pelicans. Booker now stands with Wilt Chamberlain “as the only players in NBA history to have three consecutive 50-point games against a single opponent,” according to ESPN’s Andrew Lopez.
On December 17, 2022, Booker scored 58 points in a four-point victory over the Pelicans. A season later, the Suns star outscored New Orleans by 14 points in a game. The 27-year-old guard finally broke through the six-three barrier on Monday, making eight of them after shooting a pitiful percentage after making half a dozen earlier in his career. This completed the 50-point triple.
When Wilt Chamberlain faced the Los Angeles Lakers in 1961, he was unstoppable. Chamberlain scored 57, 56, and 60 points in three games against the Lakers that year (October 20, November 17, and December 1). The fact that Chamberlain holds a record unlike any other means that the Suns star’s accomplishment is nothing to laugh at.
