Overview
- Devin Booker tripped over Lu Dort’s right foot in the third quarter Saturday and briefly left with a sore left ankle.
- No foul was called on the play, and both Booker and coach Jordan Ott said Dort raised his hand as if expecting a whistle.
- Booker returned later in the quarter and said after the game he felt fine for Monday’s Game 4.
- Oklahoma City won 121-109 to take a 3-0 lead in the first-round series.
- The sequence renewed focus on officiating and on Dort’s physical style following Booker’s recent fine and past claims he used similar moves on stars like Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama.
