Phoenix Suns defeat The Golden State Warriors 134-105 | Klay Thompson gets ejected because of altercation with Devin Booker

THOMPSON TOSSED AS SUNS BLOW OUT WARRIORS. 

The technical fouls were piling high in the third quarter. So was Devin Booker's point total and the Phoenix Suns' lead.

By the time the whistles finally stopped, the Suns were well on their way to 134-105 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night in a game that featured Klay Thompson's first career ejection and seven technical fouls.

Booker scored 34 points and Deandre Ayton added 16 points and 14 rebounds.

''I thought emotionally, we kept it together when it was starting to get a little squirrelly,'' Suns coach Monty Williams said. ''We were able to make enough plays during that time where we could get back to solid.''

Both teams lost their cool at various times during the third quarter, with all of the technical fouls called in less than six minutes. Thompson received two quick technicals and was ejected after having words with Booker, who also received a technical because of the exchange.

At one point during the argument, Thompson held up four fingers to signify the four championships the Warriors have won over the past decade. Those rings didn't help on Tuesday. The veteran guard finished with two points on 1-for-8 shooting, including 0 of 5 from 3-point range.

It was the five-time All-Star's first career ejection in 651 regular season games.

''I love Klay Thompson, I have for a really long time,'' Booker said. ''But that doesn't excuse us from being competitive and talking to each other. I've always admired his game, how he plays on both sides of the ball, and obviously the rings speak for themselves.

''But I'm going to bring it every time.''
