Devin Booker lashes out at officials after Suns drop Game 2

Oklahoma City moved ahead 2‑0 in the series with a 120‑107 win at Paycom Center, but the post‑game spotlight fell squarely on Devin Booker’s anger toward the officiating. The Suns guard was hit with a technical during a scramble to save the ball, an episode he says was never clarified by the referees. Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander powered the Thunder with thirty‑seven points and nine assists, while the team forced twenty‑one turnovers and shot 47.3 percent.

Phoenix received thirty points from Dillon Brooks and twenty‑two from Booker, yet discussion quickly shifted to the disputed call. Booker claimed he heard Alex Caruso urging the officials to assess the technical, something he believes influenced the decision. He later escalated his criticism, citing inconsistent rulings involving Caruso on earlier plays. Booker argued that modern tactics make officiating harder but insisted he had never publicly targeted a referee before. The series now heads to Phoenix with the Suns facing an 0‑2 deficit.
