Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker gave Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook a taste of his baby medicine.
After Westbrook mocked Booker with the Rock-the-Baby celebration following an and-1 in the first quarter, the Suns star did not forget and made sure to get back on the Lakers vet. Later in the game, it was Book banking an and-1 to the frustration of Brodie.
Here's Westbrook scoring on Booker before showing his popular celebration:

To add icing to the cake, Devin Booker and the Suns completely destroyed the Lakers in what was supposed to be a thrilling rematch between the two teams after their first-round playoff meeting last season. While the score ended 115-105, it wasn't really that close as the Suns led by as much as 32 points at one point.
Aside from Westbrook's celebration, there was really not a lot to see from the Lakers. In fact, it didn't go well for them on all areas, with Dwight Howard and Anthony Davis even having a heated exchange that led to their teammates separating them.
Booker finished with 22 points, five rebounds, four assists and one major disrespect to Westbrook. Russell, for his part, ended the night with a near triple-double of 15 points, 11 rebounds and nine dimes.
