The Phoenix Suns were dealt a crushing blow on Tuesday night, courtesy of Stephen Curry and his Golden State Warriors. But despite the defeat, Suns All-Star Devin Booker seemed unfazed by the loss.
The shooting guard spoke out, remaining adamant that the Suns have nothing to worry about.
Devin Booker was asked what his concern level is for the Suns after the last 2 games.
"I'm not concerned at all."

The loss was a tough pill to swallow as they controlled the game for most of the evening. Perhaps the greatest testament to their dominance was the fact that Stephen Curry was rendered virtually ineffective. The Warriors MVP scored a pedestrian 21 points on an inefficient 22 shots, making just seven field goals in the process. Even crazier is the fact that the greatest shooter of all time was held to just one 3-pointer made on 11 attempts.
This defeat comes right after a wire-to-wire drubbing at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, who were playing without superstar LeBron James. The Suns never led in the game, falling down by as much as 22 points in the final frame.
Phoenix's losing skid comes with the added concern that they're more than likely to face one of the two clubs in the first round of the NBA playoffs, depending on how the play-in tournament shakes out.
However, the rough game results haven't deterred veteran leader Chris Paul either. CP3 believes that these wake-up calls might be exactly what the Suns need as they head into the postseason as a top seed.
Chris Paul: "We've had a good regular season so far, but the intensity level of these games, I think it's good for us. We're gonna learn from 'em."
