With the Round 1 series shifting states, tempers have flared up between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns. The reigning NBA champions have opened up with a dominant 2-0 series, but a drama-filled Game 2 win saw plenty of fireworks and one humongous injury.

Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Lu Dort all received technical fouls. A day later, all three had them rescinded. Booker received his as he flung the ball up to save it from going out of bounds and ended up hitting Jaylin Williams. Brooks and Dort were hit with a double technical foul after getting face-to-face.

Afterward, the Suns berated James Williams and the rest of the officiating crew. Booker singled out Williams and ate a hefty $35,000 fine for his postgame comments. Afterward, the league found zero basis for any claim of bias or misconduct by the referees following an investigation.

Well, this is part of your typical NBA playoff series. Once one team feels cornered and their season is on life support, they go to extreme measures to try to even the playing field. That includes hoping to curry favor with the next officiating crew.

Now that the Round 1 series travels to Phoenix, let's see if the Thunder can put this to bed with a Game 3 win. They'll try to take care of business against the Suns without Jalen Williams. He will miss at least a week with a hamstring strain.

And vice versa, the Suns will play for their season. If they win Game 3, they can make things a little interesting. If not, then the Thunder should enjoy another low-stress Round 1 series for the third consecutive year.
