Devin Booker records his fifth career 50-point game

For the fifth time in his National Basketball Association career, Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker of Grand Rapids, Michigan had 50 points in a game. He in fact had 58 points in a 118-114 Suns win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
