Mavericks' Luka Doncic and Suns' Devin Booker got into a heated altercation just before the end of their game Sunday, and they carried their thoughts on it into interviews.
When it was time for post-game interviews, both Doncic and Booker spoke to the situation as reporters were curious what was said. Doncic noted Booker talking to him prior to that shot happening, but said he couldn’t divulge the details or he might get himself or Booker fined. "It’s a competitive game. It’s all good. Next time, just don’t wait until there’s three seconds left to talk," Doncic said.
According to ESPN, Doncic was heard saying"Shut the f--k up" to Booker after the missed layup. Apparently, Booker taunted Doncic after the potential game-tying bucket. Video also showed Kyrie Irving, who was traded to the Mavericks from the Brooklyn Nets prior to the NBA trade deadline, also going back and forth with Booker.
Durant, whom the Nets traded to the Suns last month, was the leading scorer for this game, dropping 37 points with seven rebounds and three assists over his 40 minutes of work. Booker almost matched him with 36 of his own, collecting a double-double with 10 assists as well.
