There were six NBA games on Monday night. The unbeaten 76ers suffered their defeat led by the Phoenix Suns' Booker, who scored a season-high 40 points and nailed a 119-109 win over visiting Philadelphia.

"That's the love I get here. It's been unconditional since day one," Booker said.  "It's good to feel the energy in there. The fans are getting what they want — a hard-working team that pushes the issue every night.”   

Booker now has 6,003 points in his career, becoming the eighth-youngest player in NBA history to reach 6,000. He turned 23 last week and finished Monday's game 15 of 19 from the field, including three for four from 3-point range, and a perfect seven for seven on free throws.

"I've said it for a while: He's a complete basketball player," Phoenix coach Monty Williams said. "He's competitive, not afraid of the moment. He makes big plays.” 

Ricky Rubio added 21 points and 10 assists for the Suns, who are three games over .500 for the first time in more than four years. Phoenix is on a three-game win streak and off to its best seven-game start since 2013.
