Playing in his first regular-season game since celebrating the Warriors’ championship four months ago, Damion Lee knocked down a clutch game-winning jump shot in the Phoenix Suns’ win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
Following the Suns' win, superstar Devin Booker gave credit to Golden State, where Lee played alongside brother-in-law Steph Curry for four seasons.
"That’s unbelievable. But I knew what was coming," Booker said. "[Lee] knows how to play the game. He knows how to play the right way. Big ups to Golden State -- they have that culture; they have that environment.

"You can see it’s instilled in him. That’s how they’ve been so successful."
With 15 seconds to play, Lee fired a pass to Booker, who fed it right back. And Lee nailed an incredible go-ahead, fadeaway 10-foot jumper for a two-point lead with 9.7 seconds left.

Lee scored all 11 of his points in the fourth quarter, much to the delight of a certain family member.
Watching the game from home, Curry celebrated Lee's clutch shot so loudly that he woke up his son, Canon.
"The kids are asleep! I don't care -- stick with it!" Curry shouted in a video posted to Instagram.
