Booker youngest to score 70 points

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker scored 70 points, becoming the sixth player in NBA history to reach that total, but the Boston Celtics got 34 points from Isaiah Thomas and outlasted the visiting Suns 130- 120 on Friday night. Booker, 20, became the youngest player to reach the mark.

He joined Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, David Robinson and Elgin Baylor as the NBA’s 70- point scorers. Baylor also held the previous record against the Celtics with 64 points in Minneapolis for the Lakers on Nov. 8, 1959.

The win was Boston’s third straight and avenged its buzzer- beater loss in Phoenix earlier this month.
