Devin Booker scored 50 points for a second successive game but could not prevent the Phoenix Suns from falling to a loss to the Washington Wizards

Devin Booker became the youngest player in NBA history to score 50 or more points in consecutive games but could not prevent the Phoenix Suns from losing to the Washington Wizards.

Booker, who racked up 59 points in the Suns' 125-92 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday night, nailed 19 of his 29 field goal attempts, including 3-of-9 from three-point range, and shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line to notch his second 50-point game in a row, a feat no Phoenix Suns player has done before.

At 22 years and 149 days, Booker is also the youngest of the 10 players in NBA history to complete the feat.

Sadly for the Suns, Booker's scoring heroics were once again not enough to ensure victory.
