Police led a lady off the court who tried to get close to Porzingis. She was not happy about having her hands put behind her and led away.

The incident occurred after the Mavs win over the Toronto Raptors, 110-102. Porzingis dropped a double-double: 20 points and 15 rebounds. Fellow superstar Luka Doncic had 26 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists. Other contributors include Seth Curry who had 15 points, six rebounds, and five assists, Delon Wright who had 15 points, and Maxi Kleber and Dorian Finney-Smith who had 10 points apiece.
The Mavs have improved to 7-5 in the young season. While they are not expected to make huge waves this season, they are nonetheless being observed by fans and critics. After all, they beefed up their roster through the acquisition of Porzingis. In the future, his duo with Doncic is expected to lead the Mavs to success. And when this time comes, people will likely look back at their first season together — the season that started it all.
