What happened: Devin Booker shot 17-for-25 from the floor and tallied seven rebounds, seven assists, and one block to power Phoenix past a shorthanded Golden State squad in front of the home crowd. The 43-point outing marks the highest single-game scoring total in a home opener in Suns history.

Why it matters: Operating in his 12th NBA season with the Suns, Booker paired high-volume scoring with 68.0 percent shooting and primary playmaking. The result secures Phoenix's home-opening victory of the 2026-27 regular season while leaving Golden State without a win to start the campaign.

By the numbers: Booker posted 43 points, 17-of-25 field goals (68.0%), 7 assists, 7 rebounds, and 1 block.

What to watch: Phoenix moves forward on its early 2026-27 regular-season schedule following the home-opening victory, while Golden State seeks its first win of the season.
