NBA: Luka Doncic, Devin Booker get into heated exchange as Suns beat Mavericks
March 5, 2023
Doncic and Booker are old foes, since last season's Western Conference semifinals to be precise and the bad blood is still not lost all. It all started after the Mavs pulled off an upset in the Western Conference semifinals.
Doncic had said, "Everybody acting tough when they're up" while going to the locker room after the Mavs' Game 5 loss but stood next to Booker, smirking, during Dallas' Game 7 blowout victory.
Agreeing to the friction, Booker, after the game, said, "you guys say you don't want everybody to be friendly-friendly. Here you go. We got some smoke."
For the Mavs, Doncic scored most points, 34, despite being uneasy due to a sore ankle. Durant, meanwhile, top-scored for the Suns as he managed 37 points. Devin Booker, the arch-nemesis of Luka, scored 36 points.
Currently, the Suns are at the fourth place in the Western Conference with a 36-29 record while the Mavs sit at seventh place with a 33-32 record.
