The Dallas Mavericks are currently facing a possible elimination game at home on Thursday in Game 6. After an ugly Game 5 loss in Phoenix, a rivalry between young All-Stars Doncic and Devin Booker is heating up. The two players once again exchanged barbs, Booker with theatrics and Doncic with mumbled words as part of Tuesday’s Game 5 drama.
As Doncic walked to the visiting locker room with his teammates, Doncic sent a mumbled-but-pointed message back to the Suns.
"Everybody acts tough,'' Doncic said, fuming, "when they’re up.”
Now, as 2-point underdogs, Dallas must find a way to beat the Suns on Thursday to even the series at 3-3 or the team will be eliminated from the postseason.
