Devin Booker 3-pointers tonight

Despite leading his team to victory on Friday, Devin Booker performed poorly from beyond the arc. After putting up 21 points, 11, assists, and six rebounds, Booker shot an underwhelming 12.5% from three-point land.

The Suns guard knocked down only one out of eight threes. Nevertheless, he managed to convert his poor long-distance shooting performance into a strong outing against the Charlotte Hornets.
