Phoenix Suns shooting guard Jamal Crawford ended the matchup versus the Milwaukee Bucks in spectacular fashion with a game-winner. It seems he let shooting guard Devin Booker know what exactly was going to happen prior to the play.
Booker has since taken to social media to reveal how Crawford called the game-winner. The veteran responded back with a post via Twitter:
— shhhh that's our secret. I know they would be all over you. Respect!! https://t.co/VNFJAB2OYm

The ageless Crawford has proven once again why he is still one of the most electrifying players in the NBA. The Suns had been trading punches with the bucks down the final stretch. Milwaukee made it clear that they were going to take the ball out of Booker's hands for the last shot. Fortunately, Crawford was able to deliver with a big-time bucket.
The veteran was a free agent through the entire offseason before signing with Phoenix in mid-October. There was plenty of speculation regarding why Crawford still had not been signed by a team. It is easy to see why when there are very few players in the NBA that are capable of taking over a game in the clutch. He finished with 11 points on 5-of-13 shooting to go with four assists and a steal. This is also the second game which he has managed to score in double figures.
Crawford should undoubtedly continue to play a key role off the bench for Phoenix. His presence in close games will also force opposing teams to think twice about doubling Booker moving forward. The suns will be looking to stay in the win column versus the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.
