Oklahoma.i home – Doncic said that in the fourth quarter Los Angeles Lakers‘ 136-120 loss to Oklahoma City Thunder On Tuesday, when it was directed to the official, Doncic’s anger, which led to throwing for the Lakers guard.
“I never got a fan of the released,” Doncic said, explaining how he would often participate in enemy fans without asking for the safety of the arena to intervene. “Never. But if (a fan) will talk, I will talk back as always. It had nothing to do with the referee. So I really didn’t understand.”
La led 108-107 with 7:40, when Doncic was whistling at the technical foul referee JT Orr, his second game. ORR also gave Doncic technology in the third quarter when Doncic claimed that the Lakers was a missed call Jarred Vanderbilt was hit by previous possession.
Thunder finished the game at 29-12 run to drive the Lakers.
“I thought I was fouled, which I was fouled, I was slapped over my head,” Vanderbilt said about Doncic. “He just told the referee that it had happened. And the referee was just like …” I’ll talk to anyone than you, Luka. “At that moment it looked a little personally.”
Crew chief Tony Brothers was asked for both technical mistakes during the pool report after the game.
The first one came 4:02 remaining in the third quarter, Brothers said Doncic, “directed a vulgar clerk.” The second brothers said Doncic, “looked directly at the official and used a vulgar language”.
Fan, Jeremy Price, who described himself as “Tattoo trial,” ESPN said that Doncic was screaming at him and not the judges.
“During the game in the game I mentioned that he was short (at his shot) and was missing, and turned and shot an explicit back and JT saw it, and at that moment,” Price said.
Price that said he also faced with Doncic during the Play -off Thunder series against Dallas MavericksOrr “maybe” said he could be wrong about whom Doncic approached.
“That’s probably why he picked up this technique to be quite honest,” Price said.
The ejection changed the course of the ultra-bask playing game between the Lakers, the 3rd place in the western conference and Oklahoma City, which boasts the total record No. 1 in the league at 65-14.
“Both teams knew it was a playoff-like atmosphere, a playoff type, a Playoff feeling, and it was just strange,” Lakers forward LeBron James said. “The game was strange then.”
Added Lakers Coach Jj Redick: “It was a great game that unfortunately did not finish as I think every basketball fan would like to make some individuals for some individuals.”
With a missed opportunity in Oklahoma City behind them, Lakers focused on Wednesday’s play in Dallas. As important as the game is for the playoffs of sowing, the competition will be much more important with the return of Doncic to Dallas because Mavericks included it as part of a three-member Lakers and Lakers and Utah jazzacquisition Anthony Davis and Max Christie February 2.
“There will be a lot of emotions for me,” Doncic said. “I really don’t know what to expect. I don’t know how to feel, honestly. I’m looking forward to being back in Dallas, of course with fans when I see my teammates-bey teammates. It will be very emotional to me.”
James, who was expecting a warm income from Mavericks fans who took root for Doncic during the first seven seasons of his NBA career, said Lakers would ensure that Doncic would feel their support no matter what the environment is.
“I think it’s very important,” James said. “I mean, it’s a friendship. He holds on to each other whenever we face something. And I think tomorrow will be a lot of emotions to go through a bow, both interior and exterior. And it’s our job just doing your job.
And in this process, their play -offs help with only three games in the current season.
“We need two out of three to lock in third place,” the Lakers Guard Guard Austin Reaves said. “We will go to compete and play as if we had the last few games because we want to stay where we are (in the ranking).”
