However, there was one incident during the second quarter of the match, that caught the attention of the viewers.

Just as Paul George wins a foul against Willey Cauley-Stein, Doncic is seen heading towards female referee Ashley Moyer-Gleich.

He then goes on to have a bit of back and forth with Moyer-Gleich, which ends with both smiling.

The referee can be seen sternly asking Doncic, “What foul?…What foul?”.

Doncic whose face is on the blind side of the broadcast camera, mutters a few words, that causes Moyer-Gleich’s entire stern expression to change in seconds.
