They're already losing on that very last seconds of the quarter, why it feels like it's a disrespect on them? is there an unwritten rule if it's like that?

Yes, in almost the entire league in the world, there's an unwritten rule about that in basketball once the team is already a sure win, please don't make any attempt to bring down much the losing team by doing "unnecessary shots" where the game is already called.

If it happened in the Suns' home, the Pelicans will surely react the same.

It now depends on who's team will ignore that sh*t and just walk off the court without showing any reaction.

We're in the modern days now, and they should just give it as a showtime for Zion or anyone who can have that slam dunk fest.

Well, I might feel bad for them too but just give it to him. The crowd cheered for Zion when he took the flight and went in. It may be feeling bad to them but just had to accept the fact that it's already a lost.

And if ever they get along again with Pelicans, they can do the same and return it to Zion and the team.

Nothing we can do about it as that unwritten rule during garbage time was already taking place for a long time.

We can't just say that teams should do this, do that, do, etc. Lots of concerns were already being raised regarding that unwritten rule.

Phoenix Suns clearly just overreact during that game and in fact, they didn't realized that they also did those kinds of unnecessary plays too before where the game is already settled but still they are still trying to do extra damage to the losing team that was already called it good.

Simply, they don't know how to react to tasting their own medicine. Cheesy
