The NBA has been full of surprises this season, and the latest game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns was no exception. In a thrilling finish, the Suns pulled off a stunning victory after a game-winning shot from an unexpected dark horse. However, the game was marred by an incident in which a star player was ejected after confronting a teammate.
The Lakers had the lead late in the fourth quarter when star forward LeBron James got into an altercation with teammate Rajon Rondo. The two were seen exchanging words and shoving each other before being separated by teammates. After review, the referees decided to eject both players, leaving the Lakers without their two best players.
The Suns took advantage of the situation and rallied to take the lead with just seconds remaining. With the game on the line, Phoenix guard Devin Booker stepped up and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give the Suns the win. Booker had been relatively quiet throughout the game, but his clutch shot made him an instant hero in Phoenix.
The incident between James and Rondo overshadowed what was otherwise an exciting game. The two stars will likely face disciplinary action from the league, but it remains to be seen how severe it will be. In the meantime, the Suns can celebrate their dramatic victory thanks to an unlikely hero in Booker. It just goes to show that anything can happen in the NBA.
