Mavs’ Luka Doncic Speaks After Loss vs. Bucks: Feb. 3, 2024

Go ahead guys so you guys started real hot especially from 3 and then they they make that run right at the end of the the second quarter uh what did you see that happen when they made that run uh I think our defense you know I think we

Hold him to 20 points in the first quarter uh so we could run out of that play faster uh went this score every time stuff to to play fast you know so nothing think it was our defense did you do you guys struggle in other areas when

The three spot falling like like you know the defense slips a little bit sometimes or is that something that happens I mean obviously we shoot a lot of Threes I think sometimes we just got to drive it more than shoot threes L how’s your anle and how much of concern

Is that going forward I mean it’s the same ankle uh it’s okay just heard the pop was was right there you know I’ll be working almost every day on that ankle so uh it’s pretty strong now so it’s better than it was if I did that last

Year it was going to be way worse but this year almost every day I work on this ankles so it’s good was it did it get like Twisted under you or was it falling what what happened to it yeah I had it like like this and then y just

Fell on my leg so it was kind of pushed down so I thought it pops we’ll see tomorrow how it is how’s your gut okay pretty tough kick it look felt I’m sure they said it was incidental it probably wasn’t incidental to you I mean probably was incidental but just least I mean

That’s offensive foul you know if it’s in s it’s still a foul you know so I don’t know what they saw so uh you know you let the the game go h a three and then you go review it I mean I mean I think it was in now obviously but still

A foul right what’s the kind of the the mental fatigue like when you guys are shorthanded like this like tonight you know Kyrie’s been out of six games you don’t have Lively Ex’s been out a little bit um what what’s that like obviously there’s the physical challenge of having

To play Heavy minutes but what’s the mental challenge like I mean it’s hard we have some great players out you know I think we had eight guys playing today so it’s her man especially go team like this they have yanis Chris Dame they have almost everybody on the team and

They’re very special talented so it’s very hard the offense at 21 turnovers usually is very effective at keeping them at a low volume uh what did you see from the buck defense today I mean yeah that that was on me I think I had like 10 11 turnovers which is unacceptable for sure

So that wasn’t me you know just being uh maybe not that careful with the pass and I took some that pass this has been a a weird season in the sense that you have not had your team together much right I mean you and Kyrie I think have play like 21 games

Together but there’s just a week not even a week left before the trade deadline you know do you think you guys need you know something to improve there do you know how do you kind of what’s your outlook in these days leading up to it Ian I don’t know I think that’s a

Question for for the owners who the GMS I going to say nothing so I think that’s the question for them else thanks thank you
