Luka Doncic had to refrain from chasing a Suns fan as he headed to the Mavericks’ locker room at half-time in match 2 of the Western Conference semi-finals on Wednesday night.
The Mavericks star defender turned sharply and pointed at the culprit before escorting him to the locker room.
“He just said some reckless things, man,” Doncic said. “I will not repeat it. A lot of fans say that because they know there’s nothing we can do. “
“If it was normal, I wouldn’t even watch because I don’t care. Sometimes you’re in a bad mood and they say bad things, it’s normal, we’re human and it’s normal to turn around and get angry. “
Then the night for Doncic and Mavericks went down. The lead of the half with 60-58 was broken in the defeat of the Suns with 129-109 and the advantage in the series of 2-0 for the most placed Phoenix.
Not due to lack of effort on the part of a Slovenian. Doncic scored 35 points to continue with five rebounds and seven assists.

“He had a great game, but no one else showed it,” said Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. “We need to get other boys to shoot better with the ball. We can’t win with him alone, who scores 30 a night – not at this time of year. And we play with the best team in the league, so we have to get other guys to work. ”
The series heads to Dallas for Game 3 on Friday night.
