Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks had a difficult night on Wednesday. The team suffered a major loss of 132-109 at home to the Phoenix Suns. Despite Doncic’s near triple-double performance (34 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds), the team faced a tough defeat in the American Airlines Center.
Some Mavericks fans expressed their displeasure towards a heckler during the game, eventually cheering as he exited the stadium. The fan, supporting the Suns, missed part of the game but ultimately witnessed his team’s victory, improving their record to 26-18.
The Mavericks, in contrast, are currently eighth in the Western Conference with a 24-20 record.
Post-match, Doncic addressed the heckling incident with the media. He commented on the persistent verbal abuse during the first half: “He was cursing me the whole first half. I would never eject a fan… But I had enough.” Additionally, Doncic had a confrontational exchange with reporter MacMahon, who initially reported the ejection.
