The Phoenix Suns traveled to Minneapolis on Wednesday to take on the surging Minnesota Timberwolves. The Suns have not slowed down very much since point guard Chris Paul's thumb injury prior to the All-Star break. A large part of that has to do with the play of superstar Devin Booker. Booker is the type player who does not back down from a challenge. Apparently, that goes for players and fans alike.
During the game, as Booker is walking the ball up the court, some fans sitting court side are recording an interaction. They begin the recording right as one of the fans says something, but you cannot tell exactly what that was. However, you can clearly hear Booker's response, and it's not safe for work, that's for sure.
Devin Booker comes from the school of not giving a fuck what he says to fans, which was founded by Kevin Durant https://t.co/DckeVxylpz

Booker scored 11 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter. Suns teammate Deandre Ayton was the most dominant player on the floor though. He finished with a game-high 35 points and 14 rebounds in the win.
Phoenix improved to an NBA-best 59-14. They are nine games clear of the Memphis Grizzlies for the top spot in the conference and the entire league. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves dropped their second straight game. In the loss, Karl-Anthony Towns reached a historic milestone, becoming the second player in franchise history to reach 11,000 points. Only Kevin Garnett has also done that in Minnesota.
