Devin Booker was electric all throughout the Lakers series, but he saved his best game for last. In the elimination game on Thursday, Booker went off for 47 points and 11 rebounds.
The Suns will face off with the Denver Nuggets — who finished off the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. That series is set to begin on Monday night.
As for LeBron James … he’ll have a long offseason to think about how he’s going to get his team to championship level next year.
