The Phoenix Suns could have had a lucky charm on the court in Denver in the one from last night 117-107 victory over the defending champions.
A young Suns fan wearing a Devin Booker jersey was standing and celebrating next to his friend wearing a Devin Booker high school jersey on almost every Suns basket, giving them plenty of support on the road. Here he is celebrating the end of the second quarter, a period in which the Suns won 37-18.

The fan continued his support even when Denver came back from 22 down to tie the game before the game went into overtime.
Then you could see the fan stand up and jump right behind Kevin Durant when he hit the dagger 3-pointer in overtime and in highlights from Bradley Beal.
Durant had eight points in overtime, while Beal had five, as the Suns outscored the Nuggets 15-5 in overtime.

After the game, Beal rewarded the fan for his support by giving him his game-worn shoes.
Good things come to those who wait (and cheer for the Suns in opposing territory)!

This isn’t the first memorable Suns fan in Denver, as Ball Arena is where the infamous “Suns in four” incident occurred.

The Suns need all the support they can get, as they are now 36-26, good for sixth place in the Western Conference, with the toughest schedule remaining in the NBA.
