Luka Doncic was fired up during Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday.
The Dallas Mavericks star was barking at a Minnesota Timberwolves fan who was sitting courtside during the third quarter. He was fed up with the fan making a crybaby motion at him and cussed him out with the Mavericks up by 36.
“Yeah! Who’s crying now, (expletive),” Doncic told the fan.
