In a game filled with NBA playoff veterans and future Hall of Famers, a pair of young Phoenix Suns making their postseason debuts were the best players on the floor.
Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton outplayed LeBron James and Anthony Davis while leading Phoenix to a 99-90 Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
They did so as Chris Paul struggled through a shoulder contusion that forced him to leave the court on multiple occasions.
Booker led the charge, tallying 34 points, eight assists and seven rebounds while shooting 13 of 26 from the field.
Ayton, meanwhile, tallied 21 points and 16 rebounds.
