Klay Thompson held back by teammates after getting ejected
When Devin Booker and Klay Thompson faced off against each other in Phoenix, the two top shooters in the game did not hold back. During the third quarter, Booker and Thompson got into a heated argument involving trash talk where Klay ended up getting his first career ejection.
The Phoenix Suns overpowered the Golden State Warriors throughout the game during their visit, and although a late fourth quarter effort to try and square the score, the Warriors aren’t off to their finest start to the season and are away from sliding their record to.500. The Suns and Warriors put on a show for everyone as Devin Booker led the team to a statement victory but the altercation between Booker and Klay Thompson, though, really stood out.
When Thompson snatched the ball out of Booker’s hands as “Book” he attempted a fadeaway jumper, the Suns were ahead 81-76. Following that, the four-time champion continued to insult the Suns’ All-Star guard nonstop. Thompson and Booker sparked the argument, which resulted in technical fouls for both players. The crowd was astonished to see Thompson respond in this way towards Booker, but Klay was too enraged and was ejected from the game after arguing with the officials and insulting the Suns’ bench.
Suns blowout the defending champions in Phoenix
When the final whistle blew on Tuesday night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, which included seven technical fouls, the Suns were already well on their way to winning 134-105. Deandre Ayton contributed 16 points, 14 rebounds for the suns, while Booker scored 34 points. He finished with a 10/19 field goal percentage and an 11/14 free throw shooting and the two-time All-Star also contributed seven assists.
The Warriors’ Stephen Curry had 21 points to lead them where 17 points have been scored by substitute Jordan Poole in addition to 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists from Draymond Green. The veteran shooter Klay Thompson only finished with two points on 1-for-8 shooting, including 0 of 5 from 3-point range. The Suns maintained a comfortable lead throughout the fourth after Thompson was ejected, and the reigning NBA champions were never able to make a comeback.
Fans react to Klay Thompson getting ejected after trash talking with Devin Booker
Like many other Golden State Warriors players, Klay Thompson had a difficult offseason. However, during tonight’s loss to the Suns, he engaged in back-and-forth trash talking with All-Star guard Devin Booker and the entire Phoenix Suns bench, which resulted in his first ejection in more than 750 games. The referees had to intervene because Thompson and Booker were arguing and wouldn’t stop, but the two refused to back down despite being warned, which resulted in the dismissal.
Fans around YouTube had plentiful to say about the incident:
Fans around Twitter shared their reactions too:
Klay Thompson is a four-time NBA champion, and he made sure to remind Booker and the rest of the Phoenix Suns squad of this as he left the floor after receiving his second technical foul for continuing to get rather frustrated with his opponents through physical and verbal altercations. The Golden State Warriors have repeatedly shown that they perform at their peak under pressure. If Devin Booker and the Suns want to compete with the Warriors this year, they will have their work cut out for them.
