Jae Crowder, Devin Booker trade shots on Instagram
NBA Instagram: It’s where the action continues even after the game ends.
Some Boston Celtics were bothered by the Phoenix Suns’ tactics in padding Devin Booker’s stats on Friday night after he scored 70 points in a defeat to Boston.
After the game, Jae Crowder threw some shade at the Suns for celebrating after a defeat. Crowder commented on a photo posted by the NBA’s official account of the Suns celebrating in their locker room around Booker. He said “never seen so many guys happy after an ‘L'” in the comment.

Booker responded in the comments saying that Crowder couldn’t guard him. Both Marquese Chriss and Tyson Chandler chimed in, while Crowder also responded. He told Booker that he was talking about the rest of the Suns, not Booker.
Many others must feel differently, because stars like Chris Paul and John Wall liked the photo on Instagram.
The Suns have taken a lot of heat for their tactics, but head coach Earl Watson defended his actions.
