Luka Doncic is known for engaging with opposing fans during games, but he likely never expected to interact with a team owner in such a manner.
However, that’s exactly what happened during Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics at TD Garden in Boston, Mass.
Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck taunted Doncic, who responded, according to reporter Jay King.
The incident occurred in the third quarter:
Despite scoring during that moment, the Mavericks were defeated by the Celtics with a score of 105-98. The Celtics now lead the series 2-0 as it moves to Dallas for Games 3 and 4 on Wednesday and Friday.
Fans might reconsider taunting Doncic, as it seems to fuel his performance. It remains to be seen if Grousbeck will continue to taunt him in upcoming games.
