The Houston Rockets might have just experienced their worst loss of the season against the Dallas Mavericks. The Rockets were finally eliminated in a play-in argument and the former won. Luka Doncic trash-talked with Rockets head coach Ime Udoka in the last seconds of the game, and the two continued to attack each other in subsequent press conferences.
Soon after the game, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka was asked during an interview what happened with Doncic and what the matter was. In response to that, Udoka simply replied that he doesn’t know his language and doesn’t understand what he said to him.
“After Luka got the bucket that kinda sealed it he seemed to have something to say to you. What was going on there?” The reporter asked Ime Udoka.
“I don’t understand Slovenian so I don’t know,” Udoka said during the post-game interview.
During a post-game interview, Luka Doncic was also asked about the word exchange between him and Udoka; he replied that Udoka started the argument, so he just replied to him.
“He was talking to me in the first game there, so you know I’m going to go back,” Luka Doncic said this during an interview after the game.

According to Statmuse, the Dallas Mavericks have won 13 out of their previous 15 games. And, with only four games left on the calendar, the club appears to be gaining momentum as the postseason approaches. They should be prepared to make a lot of noise throughout the upcoming NBA playoffs.
