“I’m surprised he didn’t try to argue with the ref for a free throw” – NBA Fans react to Luka Doncic getting his shoulder slapped by a fan from behind
Luka Doncic was upset after a fan slapped his shoulder a bit too hard.
Luka Doncic vs the Clippers
In their third battle of the year, the Dallas Mavericks hosted the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. For their final game before returning to Los Angeles, the Clippers played their third game on the road. The Mavs, on the other hand, were in the middle of a four-game homestand and playing the third one. Once again, Luka Doncic was the driving force, but they were unable to stop the Clippers.
After the final buzzer, league-leading scorer Doncic was exiting the court when he was hit on the back by a spectator. Doncic was not pleased and repeatedly sent a bewildered, irritated gaze back at the fan. Dallas hosted the match on Sunday, so an overly enthusiastic Mavs fan may have been to blame. Despite scoring 29 points, Doncic had a difficult game overall as he shot 9 for 21 from the field and 8 for 13 from the free throw line.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 30 points on 10-18 shooting overall and a perfect 7-7 from the charity stripe, dominating the Mavs like he usually does. On Sunday, L.A. also received 19 points from Norman Powell and 21 points from Paul George. Only Doncic and two other Mavericks, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Spencer Dinwiddie, scored in double figures. Hardaway scored 22 points while Dinwiddie scored 21.
Even if he may be frustrated, Doncic needs to learn how to control his feelings occasionally to prevent them from negatively impacting the rest of the squad. The Mavs need their MVP captain to help them maintain their positive attitude when things aren’t going their way because attitude is everything. Here are some of the finest reactions from the fans about Luka’s reaction to getting slapped by a fan:

Can Luka Doncic lead the Mavericks to a championship this season
Luka led the Mavs to the Western Conference Finals the previous season. They were defeated by a seasoned Golden State Warriors team there. He upped his level this year and played better than he ever has. The team, however, consists of more than one individual. As we can see, the Mavs have a number of obvious mistakes, and without correcting them, they cannot even be expected to contend for a title.
This season, Luka Doncic has been on a rampage. A game for the Slovenian Sensation typically includes 33.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 8.7 assists. He is on pace to win MVP honors this season, as anticipated by NBA general managers. He was ranked second last week but is now ranked fourth on the MVP ladder.
The Mavs will play Kristaps Porzingis and the Washington Wizards on Tuesday to wrap out their four-game homestand. When these two clubs last faced off, the Mavs were defeated by a Wizards team that was shorthanded.
