Watch: Devin Booker hits clutch fadeaway 3 to seal Suns win amid insane sequence with Jalen Brunson
The wild ending between the matchup of the New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns ended with Jalen Brunson and Devin Booker trading blows at the basketball mecca Madison Square Garden. The amazing sequence of events shows how unpredictable basketball can be until the last seconds.
With 41.7 left in the fourth quarter, the ball was with the New York Knicks, who had the chance to tie the game or go ahead with a 3-pointer, with the Suns leading 113-111.
After an unsuccessful attempt to find the basket, the Knicks regrouped with 29.2 seconds left and the ball in Jalen Brunson's hands. He had Jordan Goodwyn guarding him as makes a move once Mitchell Robinson arrives with the pick.
Brunson found Jusuf Nurkic on the switch but created space by the nail to launch a pull-up jumper and sunk it in with 21.9 seconds left.
With the last effort to seal the game, the Suns in-bounded Devin Booker, with RJ Barrett guarding him. He burns the clock and starts to dribble with 10 seconds left as Immanuel Quickley came in to help with the double team.
Booker gave the ball to Goodwin to force a separation through a quick give-and-go. The three-time NBA All-Star drew Julius Randle to come out on top to help RJ Barrett.
A huge jump step helped Booker create good space between him and Randle as he pulled up for the 3-point shot and made the basket with both defenders raising their arms. He sunk it in with 1.7 seconds left.
With not much time left, Jalen Brunson tried to tie the game with a 34-foot three-pointer but missed by only a few inches.
