After their initial Game 1 win against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Phoenix Suns are struggling a little to keep up with the defending championships. The Lakers have now won two in a row, and are aiming for a 3-1 advantage. Devin Booker, during Game 3, was slammed for apparent dirty play. 

Kendall Jenner boyfriend called out for foul play?

With 40 seconds remaining, Dennis Schroder reached for a layup. While in the air, Booker pushed him into Jae Crowder. Schroder ended up falling on the floor, and was up later – fortunately. A Flagrant 2 foul was called, and Booker was ejected. 

"Can't happen," Anthony Davis said while talking of the foul. "Can't do that. They've been chirping, it's playoff basketball, but you don't push a guy out of the air like that, two hands. It's a dirty play. Dennis could have really got hurt right there. ... That just can't happen". He added that they accept hard foul and other things similar, but pushing someone is "scary" play and unnacceptable.
