In a rather funny admission that will surely get Lil Wayne even more infuriated, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic revealed that Chris Paul's hit that brought the Phoenix Suns guard his fourth foul wasn't even that hard.

Paul got into more foul trouble in the second half when he was called for a foul on Doncic while they were fighting for a rebound. Apparently, CP3 asked Luka if he hit him that hard, to which the Mavs leader said “no, but it was a smart play.”

Here's the play in question:

Luka Doncic sold that foul really well, giving Chris Paul a taste of his own medicine. While it was indeed a foul, the Mavs star learned from the Suns guard himself to make sure that the referees see it and blow the whistle.

Paul had done the same with Dallas earlier in the series. In fact, in Game 3, he was able to get Doncic called for a foul with a clear flop.

For what it's worth, Lil Wayne didn't like the play and called Doncic a “ho” for going to such extent to give Paul more foul woes. The Slovenian star is right, though. It was a smart play that allowed them to protect their lead in the game and eventually win 111-101.

Sure enough, the Point God will be better prepared for such tactics come Game 5.
