LeBron James goes after Devin Booker

Like his entire team, LeBron James did not taste the nasty fault signed Devin Booker at the very end of Game 3 between Lakers and Suns. So he made sure to let it know at a press conference.

Funny way to put his poor performance in the background. With a big lack of skill during Game 3 between Lakers and Suns, Devin Booker only finished the game with 19 points, and a nasty 6/19 shooting. He especially concluded it in the locker room, excluded a few seconds before the final buzzer for a dangerous act on Dennis Schröder.

Given its timing, this action, which took place while the meeting seemed already folded, could have gone almost unnoticed. The Angelinos, however, decided otherwise. Raised towards the young star of Phoenix, the latter castigated her in the post-match conference, starting with a furious Anthony Davis.

Shortly after, it is LeBron James who followed in the footsteps of his interior, with remarks just as disapproving.

Well, I found that this action was not basketball action. Anytime someone is in the air pushing them can be very dangerous. So here is.

Same story for the two leaders of Purple & Gold, who had to fear for a few seconds losing Schröder to injury. Without going so far as to claim a suspension, what the german leader did, LeBron considered this gesture to be unjustified. For him, this aggressiveness of D-Book would not be the consequence of the rough play developed by LA.

We don’t see it like that. We’re just trying to play our game. We want to keep carrying the ball in the paint, shooting, and I thought Wes Matthews did a good job tonight in space-out. So every game is going to be different, and we have to be able to adapt to everything.

The King and his teammates could they therefore raise the cursor in the physical aspect for Game 4? Response this Sunday, 9:30 p.m. French time, in a meeting which could therefore prove to be as hooked as it is decisive for the rest of the series. In the meantime, its release on Booker may seem quite funny, considering the similar act he committed on Joel Embiid earlier this year.

As a good pack leader, LeBron James defended his soldier Dennis Schröder by reproaching Devin Booker for his gesture towards the latter. The Phoenix full-back will certainly be watched like milk on fire in their next clash.
