Devin Booker led the Phoenix Suns in their comeback win over the LA Clippers in Game 2. The Clippers built a double-digit lead at the start of the second quarter. However, Booker helped the Suns trim the deficit and tied the game at the end of the first half.

Booker continued to take over in the second half, finishing with a game-high 38 points and nine assists. He was simply unstoppable in Game 2 as the Clippers couldn't contain him.

In a postgame interview with Chris Haynes of TNT, Devin Booker discussed the Suns' mindset heading to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4. The 26-year-old star guard admitted that it was tough to lose the opening game, but that they will be taking it one game at a time.

"It's tough," Booker said. "They came out, started off the game really well, and we're fighting an uphill battle for the rest of the game. We wanted to protect home court in Game 2; we got one, and now we're off to LA."

Game 3 is on Thursday and Game 4 on Saturday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Suns will look to take back home court advantage, while the Clippers will try to take a commanding 3-1 lead with two home wins.
