INDIANAPOLIS — Luka Doncic the outstanding rookie for he Dallas Mavericks has been doing work on boyz all season long. So the Indiana Pacers weren’t going to be sleeping when he showed up at their place. Nate McMillan and Co. was ready and they threw everything but Big Momma’s wig at him to keep him frustrated. When the smoke cleared he’d been ejected for an angry outburst just as the horn blew at the half and then he kicked the ball into the stands late in the third quarter totaling two technical fouls. After his ejection the Mavs had no chance with the Pacers as they won it 111-99.
Indiana made sure that ole boy wasn’t going to come into their joint and do what he’s been doing all season. Victor Oladipo gave him the blues challenging every shot, outmuscling him on the perimeter and staying in front of him when he went to the rack.
They brought the 19 year old out of him because when he didn’t get the calls and his shots didn’t fall he started throwing temper tantrums which eventually got him ejected on the second technical foul for kicking the darn ball into the stands. Ole boy finished with only 8 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds.
Tyreke Evans led the Blue and Gold with 19 points followed by Domantas Sabons and Darren Collison’s 16. Victor Oladipo and Myles Turner each had 12 apiece.
The Pacers have a quick turn around with Charlotte coming in on Sunday.
