THE Phoenix Suns’ season continued its downward spiral on Wednesday (Thursday Manila time) after two of their players had a shocking shoving match in the game they lost against the Golden State Warriors. He led the team in scoring, but also led the team in distractions off the court.

This came after Goodwin opened the game in less-than-impressive fashion – his late transition defense led to an open Klay Thompson three on a delayed fastbreak heading into the timeout.
“That was nothing. That was part of being a leader and big brother”, Morris said after the team’s 112-104 loss.
Morris appeared to shove Goodwin while standing over him after the two exchanged some words.
While flipping off a fan is never the right answer, the fan’s language was strong and it’s highly unlikely Morris is the only one that would react that way in such a situation.
