There's been a back-and-forth going on between Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic and Devin Booker in what has been a truly captivating series between the Mavs and the Phoenix Suns. It was Doncic and Co. that came out on top on Thursday, 99-90, as they tied the series at 3-3 after their Game 6 victory.

After the game, Luka spoke out about all the trash-talking that has been going on. Apparently, the Mavs stud is loving every bit of it:

“I like when people trash talk to me,” Doncic said. “It gets me going. It's fun, man. It's basketball, there's gonna be a lot of trash talking, and I like it. It's fun for me. It's competitive basketball and I like it. So, it's fun for me.”
