Devin Booker, Suns put hurt on Knicks

Devin Booker came back from a one-game absence to score 27 points on Saturday night for the visiting Phoenix Suns, who mounted the final surge in a back-and-forth contest to defeat the reeling New York Knicks 106-99.

Booker, who sat out Thursday's 108-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons with a sprained left ankle, was just 7 of 18 from the field but went 12 of 14 from the foul line. The Suns, who snapped a two-game losing streak, haven't lost more than two straight games since a four-game skid from Oct.
