One of the interesting rivalries developing before our eyes in the NBA season is the rivalry between Devin Booker and Luka Doncic. The two met again this evening (Sunday) when Phoenix beat Dallas 126:130 and clashed once more.
Booker scored 36 points while Doncic scored 34, and missed a crucial layup in the closing seconds, leading to mutual trash talk between the two who were separated by their teammates, with Kevin Durant even shoving Luka Doncic. Watch the player above >>>>
The two, as I remember, met in the 2022 playoffs where Phoenix lost a 2:3 lead and was defeated in the seventh game. The network did not remain indifferent to the new chapter in the rivalry between the two. Skip Biles, the NBA commentator, claimed that “Luca avoided a foul, Booker got a technicality for nothing”.
Devin Booker talking after how Luka sent him home last year is absolutely hilarious.

LUKA GOT AWAY WITH A BLATANT PUSH-OFF OFFENSIVE FOUL before he missed the tying shot. Devin Booker was simply pointing to the floor under the basket where the foul should’ve been called. Luka, obviously mad at himself, jumped in Booker’s face. Booker did not deserve a tech.
