BBNBA: Enes Kanter Owns Devin Booker

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Christian Petersen | Getty Images[/caption] When two notorious trash talkers collide, sparks fly.  It doesn't matter if they're both former Kentucky Wildcats. Last night Enes Kanter's New York Knicks traveled to Phoenix to take on Devin Booker's Suns.  Booker's frustrating shooting night was made much worse when Kanter started chirping.  Booker had only 12 points on 4-of-12 field goals when Kanter got inside his head.  Already with a technical and a flagrant foul, when Kanter blocked Booker's shot into the stands, D-Book could no longer contain his emotions.

Kanter's Knicks won 107-85.  The Turkish forward had 20 points and 10 rebounds.  After the game he was still talking trash. https://twitter.com/Enes_Kanter/status/957115309659340800 In other news from Wildcats around the NBA (that isn't depressing injury news), Alex Poythress is back to doing Alex Poythress things. He also had two rebounds and an assist in nine minutes for the Indiana Pacers.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's solid scoring night helped him reach a new milestone. He had 19 points to surpass the 3,000 career points milestone.  MKG added 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals to the box score.
