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.
