Shaq Offers Sincere Apology to Devin Booker After Suns Beat Nuggets in Game 4 /

In this story:

The Suns evened up their Western Conference semifinal series, 2-2, with the Nuggets with a thrilling 129-124 victory at home Sunday night in a game that featured one wild moment that could lead to some trouble with the league for Denver’s Nikola Jokić.

Phoenix once again was led by its two stars—Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, who both finished with 36 points. The two came up huge in Games 3 and 4 at home and now head back to Denver in a series that very well could go the distance.

After the game, Shaquille O’Neal had a message for Booker on TNT’s tremendous postgame show. The big fella had something to apologize for:

Game 5 of this very fun series is Tuesday night at 10 p.m. ET.
