DENVER: Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns spoiled Nikola Jokic's Most Valuable Player celebration with a 116-102 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 on Friday (Saturday in Manila), putting 'The Joker' and the rest of the reeling Nuggets on the brink of a quick second-round exit.

Booker scored 28 points and teamed with Chris Paul to lead a steady offensive onslaught that countered Jokic's triple-double of 32 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists.
