Stop the bullshit. Austin had the ball still, and KD & Book were still trying to rip it from him as LeBron called Timeout. He called it right before the ball popped out - and Booker also kicked the ball once it dropped, and KD pushed Austin to the floor. You guys clearly don’t watch basketball closely.

[@Midnight_Contender]

So nobody gonna talk about that call when Booker kicked the ball while LeBron was passing for an open layup to Prince and instead of +2 for the Lakers, the Suns got a 2+1 on a strange Dlo "foul" on Grayson. The game lasts 48 minutes and there were like 10 bad decisions in it. You're trying to highlight just one. This isn't wise and fair. Booker should've been called for an offensive foul on Reaves in the 3rd quarter, he got 2 free throws. But you didn't see it and you wanna make judgement calls. What's wrong is building narratives based on two highlights, not the big picture.

You wanna say one timout call, that could've been a foul call on Booker or lost ball and Phoenix posession - completely decided the outcome of the game. Grow up, man. Lakers were a better team and they won. The refs actually helped the Suns stay in the game within reach, but you don't know it, cause YOU DIDN'T WATCH the whole game.
