Luka Doncic had an amazing game in the third matchup of this seven-game series. The Slovenian basketball star could be seen trash-talking Kawhi Leonard before getting into it with Brodie on the floor.
Doncic kicked off the trash-talking after hitting a step-back jumper on Kawhi Leonard, hitting the ‘Too Small’ gesture and saying, “He’s too f**king small while making his way back to the bench.”
After a while, it was Russell Westbrook defending Doncic on the floor. Succeeding in getting a stop on the defensive end, a charged-up Westbrook could be heard shouting, “Motherf**ker,” after his defensive stop.
Doncic, on the other hand, was seen complaining to the officials, “That’s a f**king foul.”
The game was getting out of hand for the Clippers and the frustration was visible on the players’ faces. During one play, Westbrook yanked Doncic as was making his way to the rim, being called for a foul.
Westbrook’s frustrations were loud, shouting, “F**k that sh*t,” followed by getting into Luka Doncic’s face. Despite committing a hard foul himself, Westbrook was riled up when Mavericks’ PJ Washington stepped in and shoved him.
Audio of Russell Westbrook shouting, “Don’t touch me, Ni**a,” was caught on the tape while also complaining to the Mavericks bench about Doncic’s flopping. “Man, f**k that. He’s flopping.”
Whether Luka was flopping or not, that was the end of the night for Russell Westbrook as he got ejected from the game right away. The Mavericks went onto the seal and deal and take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Brodie played a total of 19 minutes on the floor, scoring a single point, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 assist, and 1 steal for the game, as per StatMuse. Westbrook was 0-7 from the field and 0-4 from beyond the arc, a humiliating performance from a former MVP.
