Luka Doncic startled by bizarre moaning during his press conference
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic on Thursday couldn’t even hold a press conference in peace at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.
The Mavericks beat the Thunder 119-110 in Game 2 to tie their Western Conference semifinal series at one game apiece.
During his postgame press conference, Doncic was in the middle of answering a question when he was interrupted by what sounded like loud moaning.
The Mavericks star and the rest of the room were stunned into silence as the moaning continued. Doncic and the reporters laughed it off after the noises ceased.

“I hope that’s not live,” joked Doncic.
Doncic bounced back from a disappointing Game 1 performance to lead his team in scoring in Game 2. The Mavericks star tallied 29 points on 11/21 shooting to prevent his team from falling into a 0-2 hole in the series.
The Thunder crowd was as hostile as could be toward Doncic throughout the contest. Doncic even had a heated moment with one Thunder fan late in the fourth quarter (video here).
However, the win seemed to have Doncic in a good enough mood to crack jokes during his press conference.
