Devin Booker\u2019s impressive postseason run has hit one of its first real speed bumps. Booker shot just 3 of 14 Sunday night and managed just 10 points as the Suns lost 120-100 to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. That performance came after Booker scored 27 points in Game 1 and 31 points in Game 2. It was the first time he\u2019d been held below 15 points in 19 playoff games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Suns expect him to bounce back in Game 4 Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey keyed on him,\u201d Suns coach Monty Williams said. \u201cHe missed some shots. So that\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I can get better ones,\u201d Booker said of his shot selection. \u201cWe\u2019ll make that happen. The point of the game is to win it, and I think there were other things that went on throughout the game. You can say it\u2019s a make\/miss game, but at the end of the day, you have to make the other team miss and get easy opportunities for your team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Booker hasn\u2019t experienced many nights like that in this postseason, the first of his six-year NBA career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
