PHOENIX -- It's a dream many in the basketball world have: Hitting the game-winning shot at Madison Square Garden. 

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker saw that come to fruition in the team's 116-113 victory on Sunday night against the New York Knicks, sinking a dagger with just under two seconds remaining to push Phoenix's winning streak to seven games.

"It's a shot that I've imagined in my head multiple times," Booker said postgame. He totaled 28 points to go along with 11 assists and two blocks in the win. 

It was Booker's sixth go-ahead basket with three seconds or less left on the clock, good enough for second-most in the NBA since 2015. 

"Unreal. Over two guys. Get to his spot. I knew. I knew that shit was going in," said Drew Eubanks. "Who else would you want with the ball at the end of the game?" 

"That was crazy - I'm glad he's on my team. The other team, I'd be so pissed. I'm glad he's on my team," said Yuta Watanabe. 

"I thought he was Kobe for a second," said Jordan Goodwin. "That's who I thought he was. Over two defenders to win the game? Big time."

Even coach Frank Vogel had to give him props.

"It's Devin Booker, man. The guy is cold blooded," Vogel said.

"I know he's one of the best clutch players in the world, so it's fun to be on the right side of that."

The Suns are back on the road Wednesday when they play the Toronto Raptors
