“I don't understand Slovenian”: Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka hits back at Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic for chirping after win on Sunday

The Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has responded to the words spoken towards him by Dallas Mavericks star forward Luka Doncic.

The Rockets’ slim playoffs ended on Sunday as they lost in overtime to the Mavericks with a score of 147-136 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. It was their fifth consecutive defeat in the competition.

Doncic was involved in securing that win in the final moments of the match and right after that, he was seen saying something towards the Rockets head coach.

Udoka was later asked by a reporter about what the Mavericks forward said towards him at that moment, to which he responded by saying: "I don't understand Slovenian so I don't know."

Doncic was also asked why he felt the need to say something about the opposing team’s head coach, to which he responded by saying: “He was talking to me in the first game there, so you know I’m going to go back.”

The star of the show for the winning team on the night was point guard Kyrie Irving who finished with 48 points to go with seven rebounds and two assists. He was well-supported by Doncic who ended up registering 37 points to go with nine rebounds and 12 assists.
