There's no stopping Devin Booker south of the border.

Booker dropped 39 points in back-to-back games for the Phoenix Suns in their two Mexico City showcase games against the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs.

The Mavericks emerged victorious on Thursday, but only after weathering a furious comeback charge captained by Booker's 29 points in the fourth quarter.

Two nights later, Booker dropped 39 points once again, only this time it came in a win over the San Antonio Spurs. Booker dropped 14 in the fourth while being covered by a two-time Defensive Player of the Year in Kawhi Leonard.

Booker shot 26-of-42 from the field and 9-of-12 from deep in his stellar showing during the NBA's Global Games event in Mexico City. The 20-year-old will now look to carry that success over the border.

"We got a great win tonight over a really good team, hopefully we can carry over this momentum to the States," Booker said Saturday.
