There’s been plenty of back and forth between the Suns and Mavs all series, particularly between Devin Booker and Luka Doncic.

In Game 5, Booker was seen flopping around after a foul on him before calling it “The Luka Special” on camera. That was shortly followed by an incident in which Booker stole the ball from Doncic’s hands during a pause in play.

“It’s the same like trash talking. It gets me going. It’s another motivation,” Doncic said after the game. “Everyone had the Suns to win this one, but the whole locker room believed. That’s what won us the game.”

Luka was also asked whether he was aware he had scored the same amount of points individually as the entire Suns team (27) heading into half-time.

“Uh, yeah, of course,” he wryly admitted:
