The Suns vs Pelicans had an interesting ending. Look it up on Twitter. Zion got the ball and did a 360 windmill dunk on a fast break after the win was already secured. This made the Suns pretty angry and nearly started a brawl. I think the Suns are a little full of themselves all the sudden. Devon Booker and Chris Paul are a couple of the biggest prima donnas in the NBA now. I dont like it
Dunk away Zion! Nobody in the NBA can do shit to you.

One of those unwritten Bush league rules. All of the drama is just jockeying for the next time they play. No one likes getting smashed in the face.
It's always funny to see how the losing team reacts to moments like that. Of course, Zion's dunk could be seen as disrespectful to the opponent, and it clearly hurt the ego of the Suns' players. However, I think any losing team shows its unprofessionalism by making ridiculous altercations because of it. At moments like this, they look more like kids on the playground rather than NBA players.
They forgot that they still need to entertain their audience and it's really acceptable considering that it was the New Orleans Pelican's homecourt and most of the audiences are their own fans. I don't know why are they so riled up because Zion dunked it in the remaining seconds and viewed that act as a disrespect to the Suns, truth is, it's the Suns ego are the ones who got hurt.
They will be having their rematch in less than 2 hours from now and the Pelicans are still hosting the game. It will be an interesting game for sure and we'll see what will be the Suns response.
Probably there is this unwritten rule between team and players, about show boating and stuff when obviously you have the lead and win the game already.
Nevertheless if the Suns feels disrespected then they should try and get it back tonight although it will still be in the homecourt of the Pelicans. So if the Suns take this personal, then give us a good show and see if they can level the score with a great victory at the Pelicans own home court. Otherwise, Pels have the numbers on them. Looking for more trash talking here early from Booker hehehe.
