Devin Booker is a bad man. The Phoenix Suns star proved just that in the second quarter of Friday's Game 3 matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
Booker's eyes lit up as soon as he realized that he had a one-on-one opportunity against Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. As soon as he had him on an island, Booker decided to expose Porter's defense — or lack thereof:
"Don't play with your food!"

Booker knew exactly what he wanted to do here and he executed it to perfection. Unfortunately for MPJ, he was on the wrong end of Booker's showcase. The Suns star toyed with Porter and he had him on skates. This could have actually ended in a more embarrassing manner for Porter, so kudos to him for the relatively noteworthy effort. It still ended with a deuce for Booker, but to be fair to Porter, it's not as if Book is the easiest player to guard out there.
Porter and Co. are in dire need of a win here in Game 3 with the Nuggets down 2-0 in the series. They will need to somehow prevent Booker from another offensive explosion though, and they're not going to get it done with this type of defensive coverage. Book is going to cook them.
