Chen Xi scored his 36th point of the night, giving the Knicks a six-point lead once again.
The ball then went back to the Suns.
Haliburton brought it up and set up at the top of the key, waiting for his teammates to get into position before passing.
Booker moved up on the wing to the forty-five-degree angle, caught the ball, turned, and called Markkanen over for a pick-and-roll. Then he accelerated past him and drove into the paint.
When Toppin switched onto him, Booker immediately passed back out to Markkanen.
Markkanen caught the ball and feinted a shot, but couldn't get Chen Xi to bite.
Chen Xi had stripped him one-on-one in the third quarter, and Markkanen didn't have the nerve to put the ball on the floor and drive again. After a brief hesitation, he passed back to Haliburton on the other side.
Hali caught the ball and immediately drove, accelerating as he leaned into Ethan on his way to the basket.
After taking three steps, he was forced to slow down amid the contact. Hali then decisively turned and passed the ball out.
Under the basket, Ayton caught the pass, gathered the ball, and lifted it as if to get Harten in the air, but it didn't work.

Devin Booker caught the ball again on the right side of the top of the key, and once again found himself facing Chen Xi.
With little time left on the shot clock, he had no choice but to attack on his own.
He crossed the ball between his legs, then exploded into a drive!
Booker lowered his center of gravity and leaned into Chen Xi as he drove straight toward the paint.
