Booker Scores 24, Suns Outlast Rockets 102-99 for 1st Back-to-Back Wins of Season

On Saturday, Devin Booker scored a game-high 24 points to lead the Phoenix Suns past the Houston Rockets 102-99, including nine consecutive points late in the fourth quarter.
The Phoenix Suns surged to an early double-digit lead behind Jalen Green, who shot 4-for-4 in the first quarter, but the Houston Rockets rallied behind Fred VanVleet to tie 47-47 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Dillon Brooks and Collin Gillespie hit 3-pointers that helped the Phoenix Suns erase a six-point deficit and secure a 76-75 lead entering the fourth period.
Booker snapped a 93-93 tie with a 17-footer and added a step-back jumper, 3-pointer, and layup that gave the Suns a 102-95 lead with 2:30 remaining.
Kevin Durant drilled a 3-pointer to slice the deficit to 102-99, but his game-tying attempt from beyond the arc with 10.6 seconds remaining fell short, allowing Phoenix to snap an eight-game losing streak.
