With leading scorer Devin Booker back from a nearly three-week absence because of a hamstring injury, the Phoenix Suns celebrated Sunday as only they know how. One of the NBA’s highest scoring teams put up a season-best 137 points in Booker’s return against the Charlotte Hornets and now will take the league’s best record at 24-5 into Los Angeles on Tuesday to face the depleted Lakers. Booker missed seven games in total, with the Suns still going 5-2 in that stretch.
