The game was full of back and forth, no team was allowing the other to get a larger lead, but there were also many incidents where players were showing some great moves while scoring. Though a great game was seen between the Suns and Grizzlies, the incident which caught more eyes was when the two most scoring players of the respective team had a little smack talk exchange.
They were Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks; both were leading their team and were even guarding each other during the game. The trash-talking between them started when only two minutes were remaining in the third quarter of the game. What happened was when Booker made a successful midrange jump shot, he was fouled by Brooks which the Suns marquee didn’t appreciated and had some harsh conversation with him. But the refs standing nearby noticed it and gave a technical foul to the Suns’ Guard.
Meanwhile, Dillon Brooks got the free throw after a technical foul which he successfully attempted, but on the other side, Booker missed the free throw which he got when Brooks fouled him, seeing the Suns’ guard missing a free shot Brooks started celebrating it.
