The Dallas Mavericks were able to even the NBA’s Western Conference semifinals at one game apiece thanks to their 119-110 Game 2 win on Thursday night.
After struggling in the first game and scoring just 19 points, All-Star Luka Doncic looked more like his usual self during Game 2 as he scored 29 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 7 assists.
Doncic’s night remained eventful during his postgame press conference, as well, as the sounds of someone sexually moaning were loud enough that they interrupted the Slovenian scorer while he was speaking.
The sound caused Doncic to stop speaking and widen his eyes while the rest of the reporters in the room began to break out in laughter.
“I hope that’s not live,” Doncic joked to the room.

Doncic was the joint-highest scorer for Dallas on the night alongside P.J. Washington. Fellow All-Star Kyrie Irving chipped in with 9 points, 11 assists, and 3 rebounds, while Tim Hardaway Jr. and Daniel Gafford also both put up double-digit point totals.
“I think that was one of the hardest games I’ve had to play,” Doncic said after the game. “I’m battling out there trying to do my best to help the team win.”
Thanks to their Game 2 victory over the #1 seed Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks will now take the series back to Dallas where they’ll look to take a 2-1 lead over the Thunder when Game 3 tips off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST.
