Episode Summary

Without key rotation players, Booker dropped 38 points with just one turnover, taking over in the third quarter with the kind of Finals-level performance that reminded everyone of 2021. Host Benjamin Garcia breaks down Dylan Brooks' 32-point explosion and psychological warfare against T.J. McConnell and Pascal Siakam, Oso Ighodaro's breakout game with a ridiculous +52 plus/minus, and why Grayson Allen's injury shouldn't derail this deeper, more resilient Suns squad. Garcia also revisits his preseason predictions that are proving prophetic—from the team's top-10 defense to Booker's MVP candidacy—and explains why this team's infectious attitude and ability to protect leads separates them from previous Phoenix rosters that collapsed without Kevin Durant. Tune in to hear why the Suns' dominant stretch reveals a fundamental shift in team mentality and depth. 0:00 Intro1:34 Valley Court jerseys bring nostalgic feelings4:08 Vindication on Suns predictions this season6:42 Holding Devin Booker to supermax standards8:16 Booker's third quarter takeover moment arrives11:18 Best game of the season analysis16:26 Next man up mentality working perfectly19:29 Suns depth proving doubters wrong23:04 Dominant team statistics and box score25:37 Dillon Brooks' delusional confidence pays off28:41 Sweet baby Oso's plus-52 performance31:15 Confidence is key for Oso's success  📲 Follow Locked On Suns on TikTokLocked On Suns https://www.tiktok.com/@lockedonphxsuns?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on InstagramLocked On Suns https://www.instagram.com/lockedonphxsuns/ 📲 Follow Locked On Suns on XLocked On Suns https://x.com/LockedOnPHXSunsBen Garcia https://x.com/BenGarciaShow Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOSuns?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code  NBA50  the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.
