Dillon Brooks Found The PERFECT Way To FRUSTRATE LeBron!

Dillon Brooks destroyed the Lakers all by himself.
And LeBron got so frustrated about it, that he completely threw his team’s game plan out of the window. Plus we have a couple of insane endings, and one big revenge game for AD against the Joker. But we gotta start in the city of angels where the Lakers hosted the Suns on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. But that didn’t bother Luka who picked up right where he left off.
Doncic is ready to go at all times! He’s like a plug and play. 20 points in 12 minutes for the guy who leads the league by far in scoring in the opening quarter. Every team needs a firestarter like that. And for Phoenix, you know who that is... Dillon Brooks didn’t let the Suns fall back, as he and Booker counteracted Luka’s performance and the game was tied after one. But near the end of it, D-Book fell down with a groin injury and had to leave the game. So, without their superstar, playing on the road against a complete Lakers roster, you would expect for the Suns to fade off right? Wrong! It was the perfect setting for Dillon to put on his Villain mask and start hunting! Brooks was everywhere! Backing down defenders, hitting mid-range shots, running the transition for his team, really showcasing his full arsenal in the 2nd quarter. What’s going on? Dillon outran the entire Lakers team on numerous occasions, creating easy scoring opportunities. He exploded with 15 of his 33 points in the period, and singlehandedly took over the lead and the game. His energy is contagious. And leading by 14 in the 3rd, he wasn’t done stating his case yet. Knecht, Reaves, Laravia, it didn’t matter who was guarding him. Brooks was cooking everybody! At one point it got so ugly, that LeBron James decided to blatantly quit on his coach’s play, just to talk and set things straight with the Suns bench. Despite JJ yelling at Bron to join the play, he didn’t listen, so Redick was forced to call a timeout.
After all, it’s LeBron James, who’s at a point in his career where he can probably leave the game if he wanted to and still get away with it. It was just a bad look, that’s all. Funny thing is, despite all the shenanigans and the game being pretty much decided till that point, JJ had to keep James playing just for him to get 4 more points. BOOM! LeBron hits the 3 to narrow the gap to 22 points, but more importantly, keep his iconic stretch of scoring 10+ points alive and well. On the next timeout, he was naturally subbed out.
And, Colin Gilespie going nuclear in the final period didn’t help the Lakers either. At the end it was a total beatdown, and coach Redick shared his thoughts about the bad loss. And when Brooks got asked about his confrontations with LeBron, he said this. Ooohh that was a bold statement, just like the game he just had.
