Devin Booker on game-winning three-pointer vs. Knicks: 'I'm a part of history now'
“I’m a part of history now, it feels like,” said Booker, who scored seven of the Suns’ nine points in the final five minutes. “It means a lot. If you’re a fan of the game and you’re a fan of history, you should feel that upon arrival, right? When we touch down in New York City, even when I’m here in the summer and I get the chance to drive by MSG, it just gives you a certain feeling.”

More on this storyline
“For a game winner, I’m feeling I’m taking that shot unless they super blitz me to where I can’t even see the hoop,” Booker told ESPN after his 28-point, 11-assist performance. “But any soft pressure like that, I feel like if I raise up and I have it on my right side that nobody can really get to it. I know it sounds crazy, but it feels like an open shot and when you let it go, it’s good.” -via ESPN / November 27, 2023
According to ESPN Stats & Information research, it was Booker’s seventh go-ahead field goal in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime since entering the NBA in 2015-16. He ranks behind only Chicago’s DeMar DeRozan (nine) for the most in the league during that span. “It’s Devin Booker, man,” Suns coach Frank Vogel said. “The guy hit a cold-blooded, big-time shot.” -via ESPN / November 27, 2023
