DALLAS — Don’t think Mavericks star Luka Doncic had an ulterior motive Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans when he followed a physical drive to the basket with a shout at officials for not calling an and-one foul.
He didn’t mean to draw his 15th technical foul of the season, putting him one shy of an automatic one-game suspension for a third consecutive season.
He doesn’t want to rest his left thigh strain in that way.
