Following a commanding performance in the Dallas Mavericks’ Game 2 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, Luka Doncic revealed how he used heckling from Thunder fans as motivation.
Despite facing adversity and playing through injuries, Doncic delivered a stellar performance, contributing 29 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists to secure the crucial win.
During the postgame press conference, Doncic addressed the heckling he received from Thunder fans, acknowledging its impact on his mindset during the game.
While Doncic appreciated the intensity and passion of opposing fans, he expressed disapproval of one fan’s behavior towards his family, emphasizing the need for respect and sportsmanship.
“That’s great for me. I love it,” the Slovenian superstar said. “Just was one guy courtside going at my family. I don’t like that, man. Grown ass man, just can’t do that. But I didn’t do nothing. I just went back. Nothing. But it’s crazy. It’s a grown ass man coming at my family. It’s kind of nuts.”
