The Phoenix Suns defeated the Toronto Raptors 99-95 in Canada on Tuesday evening, and something out of the ordinary happened at the free throw line.  

There are no fans in the stands during games at the Raptors arena right now, and when Devin Booker was shooting a free throw, their mascot was trying to distract the All-Star shooting guard.   

Booker clearly did not like that, and the ref sent the mascot away. 

The clip of what transpired can be seen in the tweet that is embedded below from the Twitter of Rob Perez. 

On Wednesday, Booker changed his profile photo on Twitter to a picture of the Raptors mascot, and the post can be seen embedded below.   

The post has over 154,000 likes, and thousands of comments and retweets. 

The Suns have the best record in the NBA at 31-9 in 40 games.   

  • DEROZAN PASSES JORDAN ON A LIST FOR THE BULLS: DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls have been on a roll to start the new season as the top team in the Eastern Conference. DeRozan is a four-time All-Star in his first season in Chicago, and he passed Hall of Famer Michael Jordan on a franchise-record list. CLICK HERE.
  • STEPH AND THE WARRIORS ARE ON FIRE: The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs in two seasons, but that appears likely to change this season. They are on fire to start the season led by superstar guard Steph Curry and have one of the best records in the entire NBA. . CLICK HERE.
