US EditionNBA: LeBron James and Dillion Brooks Clash as LA Lakers Beat Phoenix Suns
- On Sunday in Phoenix, Dillon Brooks hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 12.2 seconds left, then was ejected after a chest-to-chest with LeBron James following his second technical foul.
- The rivalry began in the 2023 playoffs when Brooks called LeBron James 'old' and said 'I poke bears,' and Brooks was previously assessed a technical for shoving James, with Jarred Vanderbilt saying, 'He brought his antics.'
- Crew chief Tyler Ford said the second technical was for unsportsmanlike contact during the dead ball, and Dillon Brooks finished with 18 points on 6-for-9 shooting but was limited to 25 minutes after five fouls and two technicals.
- LeBron James then went 2-for-4 from the line and hit two free throws with 3.0 seconds left, then blocked Grayson Allen's final shot to secure the 116-114 Lakers win.
- Devin Booker, back from a three-game absence, led Phoenix Suns with 27 points and seven assists as observers said Dillon Brooks' conduct changed NBA game tone.
