"Getting bitc**d by Grant Williams is insane": NBA fans mock Devin Booker for getting tangled with Mavericks forward
The Christmas Day matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns took a turn as Devin Booker and Grant Williams got tangled along the way during the third quarter. Both players were given a technical full as the Suns were leading by only four points.
The incident happened at the 1:25 mark of the third quarter when Grant Williams rammed on Devin Booker trying to get closer to the ring battling for the offensive rebounds.
Williams was not content with the first bump and kept barreling at Booker until both players got into a wrestling match.
This on-court fracas was immediately all over social media and many basketball fans had different reactions to what happened:
"Devin Booker is so a**getting bitched by Grant Williams is insane, could never be Jamal," reacted @goaticfanboy on the social media platform X.
Just seeing how strong Williams is, fans found it funny that Booker dared to be in a wrestling match with him:
Some even recalled how Booker got owned by Luka Doncic before and recalled how the two got to each other and now the Suns guard is after Williams:
According to Mavs Fans For Life, they lauded Williams for going up against Booker to get a mental edge:
