Things got heated on Twitter between Knicks center Enes Kanter and Suns forward Jared Dudley following Friday night’s game at Talking Stick Arena.
In New York’s 107-85 victory over Phoenix, guard Devin Booker shoved Kanter in the back in response to the big man rejecting his shot and staring him down during the third quarter. Both were hit with technicals, and since it was Booker’s second of the evening, he was ejected.
Never shy on social media, Kanter, who had 20 points and 10 rebounds in the win, tweeted an image of Booker holding an “L” immediately after the contest.
Hold that “L” kid.
