There was no shortage of controversy late in the NBA in-season tournament matchup between the Suns and Lakers. With a trip to Las Vegas and a spot in the semifinals on the line, both teams played playoff-caliber basketball on both ends.
But with under 20 seconds remaining, things got off the rails, and Phoenix guard Devin Booker posted the best photo of the bunch thus far to ignite the team’s fan base even more.
After Booker scored to cut the Lakers’ lead to one, Austin Reaves hit a clutch three-pointer with 15.1 seconds remaining to make it a 105-101 game. It seemed likely that would seal the deal, but after a quick bucket by Kevin Durant, the Lakers inbounded, and it appeared Reaves lost the ball with three defenders around him.
