An Accident, A Loss, An Alley-Oop: Suns Playoff Run Helps Fan Persevere After Painful Year
PHOENIX – When Deandre Ayton slammed down his now legendary “Valley-oop” in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the dunk instantly became one of the most electrifying moments of the Phoenix Suns’ playoff run this season. For one fan, it holds an even greater meaning. “Since April 15, I’ve had an hour of no pain and half of that time is because of Deandre Ayton,” David Boothe said. No one knows the healing power of sports better than Boothe, who has found comfort in recent months watching the Suns, who face the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight.
