Luka got the last laugh, or in this case the last smile.
On Sunday, the Mavericks absolutely ripped the Suns apart in a stunning 123-90 blowout. From the jump it was a blowout, the Mavs led by 10 points after the first quarter and just kept stacking onto that margin without mercy. As per usual, Dallas was led by Doncic, who poured in 35 points, 10 boards, and four assists. It seems the Mavs’ superstar was indeed paying attention to Booker’s chirping:

Booker: 30 points

Things got so bad for the Suns, that Doncic’s smiling at Booker during the Mavs’ previous win from Game 6 in Dallas was being brought out.

I think the smile sums up everything. Definitely one of those memes you’ll see forever.
