The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns geared up for a showdown filled with excitement. Fresh off their victory against former teammate DeAndre Ayton in Portland, they were determined to continue their winning streak against another former teammate; Chris Paul. However, as the game progressed, an incident unfolded and became a major focal point of the game.

Amidst the anticipated matchup, the Warriors had started impressively with a 31-point first quarter. Meanwhile, the Suns managed to gain a slight edge by outscoring the GSW 37-16 in the second quarter.

Chris Paul and Scott Foster get into a heated exchange

Chris Paul and Scott Foster have just added another intense chapter in their long and bitter rivalry. The tension escalated within seconds as Paul received two technical fouls from the seasoned official. As a result, he ejected Paul within a mere 17 minutes into the game. Understandably frustrated by the turn of events, Paul didn’t hold back and erupted at Foster. In a heated rage, he said, “You’re a b***h” multiple times. Stephen Curry, in close proximity to Paul, was seen holding CP3 off.

In the 17-minute stint, Paul managed to rack up 6 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds. His dramatic ejection occurred mere seconds before the first-half buzzer. Furthermore, Paul’s vocal disagreement with Foster triggered his exit.

Adding to the chaos, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also found himself on the receiving end of one of the techs. Notably, this was not the first time Chris Paul and Foster’s name had appeared in the headlines. It appears as if both the names are known for their notorious antics in their respective profession.

Paul and Foster have a history

Paul’s contentious history with Foster has been a major topic of discussion on multiple occasions. In the 2021 playoffs, CP3 brought attention to a staggering statistic. He revealed that he had lost 11 consecutive playoff games which were officiated by Foster. Additionally, there have been reports that Paul has also sat down with the NBA to address his issues with the referee. To make matters worse, Paul had a dismal 3-17 record in playoff games refereed by Foster.

As the game concludes, the post-match chatter promises intrigue; especially regarding whether Foster or any other officiating crew member will engage in a dialogue from the incident. Furthermore, equally fascinating will be Paul’s perspective on the entire situation.

Now, in less than 20 regular season games, Paul becomes the third Warrior to be ejected; alongside Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
