The Suns forward has had his fair share of run-ins with the officials throughout his career, and he has developed a reputation for himself.
However, Brooks had not committed anything more than three common fouls on Friday night prior to his ejection.
The veteran was off to a red-hot start shooting the basketball. Brooks had 12 points in the first quarter on 5-for-7 shooting and had 20 points by halftime with four made 3s.
Brooks’ night ended with 22 points on 9 of 12 from the field, with two assists, one rebound and one steal.

That was garbage and definitely not an ejection
Murray is an acting clown!! And it’s exactly why he shot 4 more free throws (15)than the entire Suns team(11)
His head goes jerking back anytime someone breathes on him - and then goes flying on any layup.. And what’s worse the Refs just kept giving him whatever whistle he wanted!!

And stay with me here!!! You will never see the above stats with such a discrepancy on Free Throws!!! Never!!!! The Foul baiting and clear preferential treatment was just GROSS and the Legaue should be ashamed!!!!!
I liked Pat McAfee at first. I also liked Dillon Brooks at first.
I am beginning to get tired of both of them.
