While Doncic downplayed the dustup postgame, he also had a message for Booker.
Booker was talking to him initially based on what the Suns star said. Booker, however, claimed otherwise.."[Doncic] said something to me first and I responded. You guys say you don't want everyone to be friendly, friendly. There you go. We got some smoke.""It's just two competitors going at it," Booker said."Everybody speaks on how friendly the NBA is now and they don't like that. I have no problem with Luka on or off the court.
There's certainly no love lost when these two teams meet following last season's playoffs. Doncic and the Mavs bounced the No. 1-seeded Suns from the conference semifinals with a stunning Game 6 beatdown in Phoenix. With ex-teammates Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant now in the picture, here's to hoping they square off again this postseason.
