The Suns defeated the Pelicans 121-98 at home and won three consecutive games.

After the game, Booker accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about the difference between this season and last season, he said: "There are many differences. Different players, different coaching staff, the whole atmosphere is brand new. We have put last season behind us (not making the playoffs). This is very difficult for the entire city, but we feel brand new."

So far this season, the Suns have 6 wins and 5 losses, eighth in the Western Conference.

In this campaign, Booker played 26 minutes and scored 19 points, 3 assists and 1 steal, making 8 of 13 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws.
