Things got heated between Luka Doncic and Devin Booker on Sunday afternoon in Dallas.
Booker finished the night with 36 points and 10 assists. Only Kevin Durant, who was playing in just his third game with the Suns after being traded there by the Brooklyn Nets, scored more. He dropped 37 points with seven rebounds and three assists.
Doncic led the Mavericks with 34 points and nine rebounds, but went just 1-of-9 from behind the arc. Kyrie Irving added 30 points and seven assists. Though the incident between Booker and Doncic doesn’t matter much, it shows how things have been between the two clubs in recent months — something that seems to have started with the Mavericks’ upset win in the playoffs last year to reach the Western Conference finals. And sure, the Suns won in the end. But the two teams were in a tight battle the entire way through. Neither team led by more than nine points, and Dallas led through most of the second half up until the end.
If they do, however, expect another contentious series in what has become one of the best new rivalries.
