The Suns defeated the Mavericks 123-114. After the game, Mavericks coach Kidd talked about Suns leader Booker in an interview with the media.

"Booker's performance is at the top level. He takes a lot of shots, but he is one of the best players in the world. If you ask him to shoot three-pointers or mid-range shots, there is a high probability that he will hit them. There is no doubt about it. His shooting condition is excellent, the team also plays very hard, and the guidance of the coaching staff is also in place. They actively rush for rebounds, and many players on the team are good at shooting three-pointers and take a lot of shots." Kidd said.

In 38 minutes of the game, Booker made 7 of 19 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 12 of 13 free throws. He scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals, but he made 5 turnovers.
