Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker appeared to refute the report that coach Mike Budenholzer told him to "tone down" how vocal he was on the court and during timeouts. Chris Haynes reported on Friday that Budenholzer called Booker a few weeks ago and left Booker "shocked" by telling him to "tone it down."
"Nah, Coach said it, too," Booker told the media on Sunday. "We've had multiple conversations. I can't seem to find one that sticks out more than the others. It's a player/coach relationship. When things start going bad, everybody tries to point fingers to find out what's wrong. People are going to come up with stuff. The relationship is great. We're on the same page, we're trying to win and that's that."
