Devin Booker and Chris Paul absolutely dominated the Mavs in the fourth quarter of Game 2 as they led the Phoenix Suns to a jaw-dropping 20-2 run to blow this contest wide open. The game was actually pretty close for the most part before the Suns went on an all-out barrage in the final frame. The matchup ended with Phoenix scoring a 129-109 victory to claim a 2-0 lead in the series.

After the game, right before Booker was going to get interviewed in the broadcast, the Suns had an epic two-word message about his 30-point performance on Wednesday night:

“I'm back,” Booker said with a huge smile on his face (h/t Bleacher Report on Twitter).

Indeed he is. Booker missed three games in their first-round series against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a hamstring issue but he showed no signs of this during his performance on Wednesday night. The Suns star is back in top form and this should spell trouble for the Mavs.

Phoenix is now 2-0 up in the series, but this is far from over. Games 3 and 4 will be in Dallas and there's no doubt that Luka Doncic and Co. will be out for some revenge.
