May 28, 2021

Luka Doncic

Postgame Press Conference

Los Angeles Clippers - 118, Dallas Mavericks - 108

Q. If the Clippers are going to play small that much how can you guys get more out of Porzingis?

LUKA DONCIC: I mean, I think the post, you know, feed more feed the post, I think that's the thing because they're playing small, and I think feed the post more.

Q. I saw at times you were holding your shoulder and wincing and getting some treatment on that. How is your shoulder doing and how did that injury happen?

LUKA DONCIC: I mean, it's not shoulder, first of all. It's like neck at halftime and then went down. And it's just weird. I turned and it's like, I don't know, I don't know how you call it, but just some massage, some ice and hopefully it will be good.

Q. A little bit of chippiness tonight between your self and the Clippers and overall. How do you feel like you guys handled that as far as some of the tactics were concerned physically and emotionally tonight?

LUKA DONCIC: I mean, I know I got a tech, somebody told me later. It's like, why was that a tech? I don't understand this. Just let us play. A lot of guys from the bench were talking, but, you know, just keep going, nobody said it was going to be easy and we just got to keep playing.

Q. You guys got off to the 30-11 lead and I know you went out for your customary break then. Why do you think the game turned so suddenly and why weren't you guys able to get that momentum back?

LUKA DONCIC: I think we took a couple bad shots and we know that we relax a little bit when we go up, so we got to work on that. Especially I got to work on free throws.

Q. You finally got to play a playoff game here at home and the atmosphere sounded electric. How was it for you to be in that first quarter to be here with fans again?

LUKA DONCIC: I mean, it was amazing, not only first quarter, the whole game they were amazing. I really appreciate everybody coming, I hope they come again in two days. They're amazing. I wish we would have give them a win, but we'll try on Sunday and hope it's the same energy.
