The NBA playoffs are getting tense on the floor and in the stands

Devin Booker, mired in a poor shooting night, was ejected for shoving Dennis Schröder to the ground, an act that Lakers star Anthony Davis later called a “dirty play.” Moments later, Jae Crowder was booted for expressing choice words to a referee. Throughout the contest, players from both teams jawed back and forth and the crowd repeatedly targeted Crowder with profane chants. During his postgame news conference, a miffed Paul referenced the fact that he has lost 11 consecutive playoff games worked by referee Scott Foster.
