Luka had a rough shooting night overall, but in the 2nd qtr he was definitely on. 12 pts (4-7 FG, 2-4 3pt, 2-2 FT) 5 rebs & 5 assists, Only the 10th 10-5-5 qtr in playoff history. He had NINE such qtrs in the regular season. The rest of the NBA had 9 such qtrs. – 12:57 PM

Washington intervened, shoving Westbrook from behind, leading to an exchange of shoves and a brief scuffle. Westbrook’s frustration boiled over as he also attempted to push away an official while being restrained. “Amazing. I have nothing else to say,” Doncic said of Washington protecting the team. “He’s a team player, he helps all of us, and I’m just really happy we got him on our team. “Playing basketball, there’s always going to be some [heated moments],” Doncic added about the playoff physicality. “We stayed focused, we stayed locked in and just played the game. “I’m used to that. I’m used to players coming at me. I just try to stay calm, just keep playing basketball.” -via BasketNews / April 27, 2024
Luka Doncic was greeted by an old face as he took to the court to prepare for his latest Dallas Mavericks outing on Friday night. Prior to their NBA playoff game against the LA Clippers, the Mavs superstar shared a warm embrace with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, who headed to Dallas’ American Airlines Center to watch his former basketball player in action. Doncic, one of the top talents in the NBA today, began his professional career in Spain with Perez’s Real Madrid before leaving for the big league in 2018. -via Daily Mail / April 27, 2024
