Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic got heated Thursday with an Oklahoma City Thunder fan standing courtside.
The Mavs led the Thunder 110-101 with 4:26 left in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal matchup at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Okla.
As the teams headed toward their respective benches for a timeout, Doncic confronted a Thunder fan standing near Dallas’ bench. The Mavericks star appeared to take exception to something that the fan had said to him.

Referee Scott Foster got in between Doncic and the fan before things could escalate any further. The exchange happened right next to Arizona Cardinals stars Kyler Murray and James Connor.
The entire Thunder arena got into the act just a few minutes later. The capacity crowd began chanting “Luka sucks” with a passion as the game drew closer to finishing.

Doncic ultimately got revenge on the fan with his play on the court. The Mavericks star had a team-high 29 points on 11/21 shooting to go along with 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
Doncic’s Mavericks closed out the Thunder for a 119-110 win to tie the series 1-1.
