Devin Booker's act is unacceptable and has no place in television or in front of thousands. Glad the referee took action on his display of rage and profanity. https://t.co/ixUePUdeOJ
HOW CAN YOU EJECT DEVIN BOOKER FROM THE GAME 6 MINS IN? What could he possibly have done to warrant that? No punches thrown. No fight. Just competitive talk is enough? That's not okay @OfficialNBARefs. Stop messing up the game for the fans.
