Klay Thompson taunting the Phoenix fans
Following at least a week of building bitterness, Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns prompted Klay Thompson with a few provocative rants on Tuesday night, sending him over the brink. After losing his temper, Thompson was tossed out for the first time in his career and his departing taunt towards the Phoenix bench afterwards went viral.
Devin Booker scored a game-high 34 points as the Suns defeated the NBA champs 134-105, handing them their second loss of the new season. In the third quarter, the Warriors were involved in a tight contest amongst title contenders, presumably fueled by the intense energy present in the spirited Footprint Center. While Booker led the Suns and Warriors to a show-stopping triumph, it was his incident with Klay Thompson that grabbed everyone’s attention.
As he tried a jump shot, Klay Thompson stole the ball off Devin Booker, and he immediately started insulting the Suns’ All-Star guard constantly. Thompson and Booker started the incident, which led to technical fouls for both of them. However, Klay was too upset and was thrown out of the game after shouting with the referees and making insulting comments about the Suns’ bench. In response to the heckling, Thompson pointed at his hand, referring to his four championships, and walked off the court and into the locker room early.
Klay Thompson and the Warriors come up short in Phoenix
The Phoenix Suns were already well on their way to winning 134-105 when the Golden State Warriors and the Suns’ game on Tuesday night, which featured seven technical fouls, came to an end. In addition to Draymond Green’s 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, Stephen Curry of the Warriors led the team with 21 points. Substitute Jordan Poole added 17 points and Klay Thompson only managed to score two points overall on 1-for-8 shooting, making 0 of 5 three-point attempts.
Golden State has been delicate with Thompson’s playing time during the first week of play since he entered Tuesday’s action ramping up toward his usual minutes load. Klay had a really difficult game, and by the time he was sent off for fighting with Booker, he had already established a poor performance with poor shooting, offensive production, and defensive performance. His dismissal fueled the Suns, who outscored Golden State 51-28 after going on an 11-0 run.

The fans on social media reacts to Thompson taunting Phoenix
Although the cause of the verbal altercation between Thompson and Booker was unclear, footage from the broadcast showed the Warriors star insulting Booker and the Phoenix bench following the incident. Thompson told his opponents that he had four championship rings to them none, using some harsh language. Thompson played in his 651st regular season game on Tuesday, ending a remarkable run without getting an ejection.
This is how the fans around YouTube reacted to this cold moment of Thompson:
Twitter fans also had their takes on this:
But with 78 games left to play, Klay’s out of character explosion might be the trigger the Warriors need to shake off the negativity that has overshadowed them in the three games since opening night. His predicted performance in 2022–23 will be measured against the strong level of two-way influence he had during the Warriors’ championship run the previous season. Thompson said that, although understanding the reasons, it was difficult for him to accept the smaller position with less minutes.
