They have gone on multiple win streaks through the season, while opponents have struggled to keep up with their style of play. When it comes it the scoring department, Devin Booker leads the way.

Being the first option scorer, he has stayed consistent and done wonders this season. However, the All-Star guard made his name for some other things as well.

On the business end, the Suns are cruising against the Bulls so far. Despite the return of Zach Lavine, Phoenix seems to have got an edge on Chicago. And most of it comes from Booker it self.
The All-Star guard has accumulated 22 points at the half leading the game so far. His All-Star partner Chris Paul is running the show with 6 points and 8 assists. The Suns have shot an efficient 56% from the floor so far while playing some stellar defense on the Bulls.
The Bulls have their scoring duo of Zach Lavine and DeMar DeRozan shining through once again. Lavine has scored 17 points so far while DeRozan has racked up 13 points. No other Bull has managed to score over 5 points in the game so far as they are shooting just 40% as a team.
