Devin Booker Shatters Suns Scoring Record Despite Narrow Loss

Devin Booker etches his name in Suns history, becoming the franchise's top scorer, but falls short in a close game against Portland.

Devin Booker made history on February 4, 2025, by becoming the all-time leading scorer for the Phoenix Suns, surpassing the legendary Walter Davis. He accomplished this milestone during a fiercely contested matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, where he scored an impressive 34 points.

Booker set the record with a stunning three-pointer in the third quarter, receiving an enthusiastic ovation from the crowd in Portland. This moment was not just a personal achievement for Booker; it underscored his contributions to the team throughout his career, which began in 2015 when he was drafted 13th overall. Since then, he has played 642 games for the Suns, evolving into a four-time All-Star.

Despite Booker's landmark performance, the Suns fell short in the game, losing 121-119. The heartbreak was amplified when Booker missed a crucial free throw at the end of overtime, which would have leveled the game.

Walter Davis, who previously held the record with 15,666 points, played for the Suns from 1977 to 1988, appearing in 766 games and earning six All-Star selections. Booker's achievement has sparked discussions about his legacy and potential to become one of the greatest players in Suns history.

In other NBA action, the New York Knicks secured a thrilling comeback against the Houston Rockets with a final score of 124-118, thanks to Jalen Brunson’s stellar 42 points. Meanwhile, the Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Milwaukee Bucks, winning 125-96, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading with 34 points. The Memphis Grizzlies also claimed a solid victory over the San Antonio Spurs, while the Atlanta Hawks snapped their eight-game losing streak with a nail-biting win against the Detroit Pistons.

With the momentum of remarkable performances across the league, the NBA continues to deliver unforgettable moments this season.
