Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker trolled Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges in the most perfect way on Wednesday night. 

Booker made a three-pointer in the fourth quarter of the Suns’ 136–120 win, and he immediately busted out Bridges’s iconic three-point celebration.

Not only that, but Booker threw up his three fingers and pointed right in front of Bridges’s face. He then ran away, laughing the whole way down the court.

Booker’s taunting was likely all in good fun as the two players were teammates up until last February when Bridges was traded to the Nets as a part of the Kevin Durant trade. Wednesday night marked Durant’s first return to the Barclays Center since the deal was made.

Booker made four three-pointers, but waited until his last one to troll Bridges. The Suns star put up 22 points, eight assists and three rebounds, while Bridges connected on six three-pointers and scored 21 points.
