Luka Doncic surprised everyone not only because of his outstanding performance on the court during the confrontation between the Dallas Mavericks and the Oklahoma City Thunder that ended with a score of 119-110 in favor of the Texans, but also because of an unexpected incident. As the Slovenian reflected on the improvement in team energy compared to the first game of the Western Conference semifinal series, which is now tied at 1-1, sounds of sexual moans briefly interrupted the conference.
“I hope it’s not live,” the guard commented, recovering from the moment with humor. Despite the curiosity raised, the exact origin of the sound has not been confirmed. Some versions indicate that the audio came from the phone of a journalist who wanted to film the press conference and accidentally shot a video. Others, however, maintain that the sound came from the hallway.
“Just our energy. “I think we shot the basket very well (…) sharing the ball and our energy was great,” explained Doncic about the change in team dynamics in this second match, highlighting the importance of collective play and the efficiency in shooting that characterized the performance. of the Mavericks. Meanwhile, the Thunder will reflect on this match to adjust their strategy and seek to reverse the situation in the next matches.
On a sporting level, Doncic, facing physical problems including an injury to his right knee and more recently blows that affected his ankle and teeth, has once again demonstrated his resilience and commitment to the team. “I think it was one of the hardest games I have ever had to play. I’m there fighting the battle, trying to do my best to help my team win,” said the player, who came close to the triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. This performance is added to that of his teammates, such as PJ Washington, also with 29 points and 11 rebounds, and Tim Hardaway Jr., who from the bench contributed 17 crucial points for the victory.
For the Thunder, the defeat meant the end of an undefeated streak in the playoffs, ending 10 consecutive wins counting the regular phase and the playoffs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams stood out on the team, with 33 and 20 points respectively, although their efforts were not enough to counteract the Mavericks’ offense, which especially shone in triples, conceding a total of 18 of 37 attempts.
The series now moves to Dallas for games three and four, where the Mavericks will look to build on the momentum from this win. The first will be this Saturday, from 4:30 p.m., at the American Airlines Center; while on Monday, at 10:30 p.m., they will meet again on the same stage. Then the series will return to Oklahoma (Wednesday the 15th, at 10:30 p.m.).
Those led by Jason Kidd, who finished fifth in the Western Conference (50 wins and 32 losses), reached this stage after leaving the Los Angeles Clippers on the road 4-2. Mark Daigneault’s men, for their part, were the leaders of the West with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses. In the previous round they swept the New Orleans Pelicans 4-0.
The winner of this series will face off in the final against the winner of the Minnesota Timberwolves-Denver Nuggets matchup (the Minneapolis team won the first two duels).
