Friday night was very entertaining for the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks. The first two games between them were very good and you could see players exchanging words and threatening to scuffle. Well, Game 3 of the series was no different and just like in the first two games, Luka Doncic was involved in the incidents.
First, he called out Montrezl Harrell for flopping, which sparked something inside Harrell and both players had to be separated.

After that, Harrell was on the offense, when he took a big shot at Luka. The Clippers big man made a putback over Doncic and Dorian Finney-Smith, then yelling “bi**h a** white boy” towards Doncic.

Doncic admitted he was ready and expected this type of treatment and the Clippers are doing a great job. People are talking a lot about the Lakers-Blazers series but this one right here has had pretty intense games, with the stars of the team getting involved in scuffles, trying to defend his teammates.
The Clippers won the game, 130-122, to take the 2-1 lead in the series. Doncic sprained his ankle on Friday night and the Mavs will know how serious the injury is for the Slovenian player. Continuing this series without Luka will definitely change things for Dallas.
