When you’re down and out but you see one of the squad members is still getting buckets, what is the right thing to do?

Let him keep getting buckets.

The Suns did this on Friday when they saw Devin Booker cooking the Celtics, even though the rest of the team wasn’t doing that well.

Check out how the fourth quarter ended.

Notice anything? Look again.

Yes, the Suns took timeouts and intentionally fouled so that Booker could keep getting buckets.

Do the Suns care if you’re mad about that?

Nah.

Ball is life.
