Booker Drops 37 as Suns Clinch 7-Seed in the West

Devin Booker reminded everyone why the Suns are still dangerous. He poured in 37 points as Phoenix clinched the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference with a 112-107 win over Dallas. Dillon Brooks added 28 in a vintage two-way performance.

The bad news was all on the Dallas side. Rookie Cooper Flagg — who dropped 51 just days ago — came crashing back to earth with 11 points on a brutal 4-of-19 from the field. The Mavericks, already without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, are limping into the play-in.

For Phoenix, clinching the 7-seed means they'll host a play-in game. With Booker and KD healthy, no one in the West wants to see the Suns in a one-game elimination scenario. They've been here before.
