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.

Booker made 21 of 35 field goals, six of 12 three-pointers, and 10 of 15 free throws. He also had six rebounds, five assists, and was a +11 during 42 minutes and 27 seconds worth of action.

This was the second time this season that Booker had 50 points in a game. On November 30, he had 51 points in a 132-113 Suns win over the Chicago Bulls.
