Portland Trail Blazers registered their first win of the season after beating Phoenix Suns 134-105. The Blazers led the Suns in all four quarters and won comfortably at the Moda Center. CJ McCollum (28 points) and Devin Booker (21 points) starred for their respective teams and gave the fans an exciting showcase.

Devin Booker led the scoring chart for the Suns with 21 points from 28 mins but it wasn’t enough as the Suns lost their second game of the season.

However, Devin Booker was trending on the internet for a different reason. Booker was involved in an incident with Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic in the first quarter of the game. His move in that incident almost gave Nurkic a concussion mid-game.
