The Phoenix Suns, despite not having Kevin Durant (and Grayson Allen) on the road against the New York Knicks, put up one of their most spirited efforts this season, taking home a 116-113 victory to move to 11-6 on the season. This win for the Suns came thanks in large part to the heroics of Devin Booker, who, time and time again, has shown that when his shot is falling, there is simply no stopping him from getting whatever he wants on the hardwood.

What Booker wanted at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night was a chance to stick the dagger right through the Knicks' collective chest. And he did exactly that, nailing a difficult leaning triple (to his right, no less) over the outstretched arms of Julius Randle and the trailing RJ Barrett to give the Suns a three-point lead with 1.7 seconds remaining.

Devin Booker, much like the player he reveres the most, Kobe Bryant, is not afraid to take the last shot; in fact, the Suns star declared that there's simply no way he'll be passing up that shot unless defenses manage to crowd his space completely, which the Knicks failed to do.

“For a game winner, I'm feeling I'm taking that shot unless they super blitz me to where I can't even see the hoop. […] But any soft pressure like that, I feel like if I raise up and I have it on my right side that nobody can really get to it. I know it sounds crazy, but it feels like an open shot and when you let it go, it's good,” Booker said, per Tim McMahon of ESPN.

The Suns star simply makes it look easy; as hoopers would know, it's more difficult to shoot a leaner going to the side of your strong hand, as one is more off-balance going that way. Many scorers in league history have found pull-up shots to the opposite side much easier, as they can align their body more easily towards the basket without much contortion.

But Devin Booker, on Sunday night, showed that there are no easy defensive solutions to his elite shot-making ability, which should be a cause for concern for the rest of the NBA.
