Jeremy Sochan didn’t waste his opportunity to ratio Devin Booker after Thursday’s game.
Sochan’s San Antonio Spurs were victorious over Booker’s Phoenix Suns by a 132-121 final score. While the Spurs led by as many as 27 at one point, the Suns made a furious late run and trimmed the advantage to just three points with six minutes left in the fourth quarter. As the two teams were heading to a timeout, Booker began talking trash to Sochan.

Phoenix then actually went on to tie the game at 116 with four minutes left. But San Antonio finally put them away with a decisive 16-5 run to close.
Sochan took his victory lap in a post to his X page afterwards. He reacted to a clip of Booker’s smack-talking moment by savagely writing, “They lost, post the rest.”

It was a well-deserved flex by Sochan, who finished with 14 points, five rebounds, and nine assists in his team’s win. He also got revenge on Booker during the game by getting a clutch block on him off a very nice defensive recovery with two minutes left.

On Booker’s end, he was making his return after a three-game absence with an ankle injury, so you can’t blame him for getting a little hyped. But Booker should know by now that running his mouth during the game doesn’t often work out well for him.
