Booker sheds groin-protecting shorts, ignites for 25 points in Suns' win

Devin Booker scored 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), adding two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 win over the Warriors. After a slow start with just two points by halftime, Booker caught fire in the second half, hitting clutch shots. He attributed his improved play to shedding protective shorts worn for groin protection, confirming he will no longer use them. Booker has played well since returning from his groin injury and looks to continue against the Warriors on Saturday.
