"I just like to compete,"
"He's going to compete. I'm going to compete. We're going to get up in each other's face. Try not to go borderline with it. I don't really take it there. But we're just competing and did that almost all the way to the end of the game."
"I poke bears."
Dillon Brooks delivered a go-ahead 3-pointer with 12.2 seconds remaining but was assessed a second technical foul and ejected after chest-to-chest contact with LeBron James. LeBron made two free throws following a foul by Devin Booker with 3.0 seconds left and then blocked Grayson Allen's final attempt to clinch a 116-114 Lakers victory in Phoenix. James finished with 26 points, four assists, two steals, two blocks and eight turnovers. The confrontation reinforced a rivalry that began in the 2023 playoffs when Brooks called James "old" and said, "I poke bears."
