Luca Donsick wants to prevent technical dishonesty by arguing with the authorities. He can also add “stop drawing flagrant falls” to his list.
The young Mavericks star was given a Flagrant 2 and an automatic rejection for a hostile action towards the Cavaliers’ Colin Sexton on Sunday night. The act was a chop that landed near Sexton’s groin and the two fought for position in the lane. Officials called the strike “aggressive”.

Dopsik’s swipe was evident on the replay.
Doncic said last week that he needed to keep himself in check and not so much a complaint. His realization came at a time when he received his 15th official technicality of the season, ashamed to trigger a one-game suspension (the second tee was canceled earlier).
“It’s something I’m not going to do,” Doncic said, Per ESPN’s Tim McMahon. “[It’s difficult] With all the emotion in the games, but obviously I have to stop. It is difficult for me on the court with all the emotions, but I realize it and I have to work on it. It’s hard to do, but I have to work on it and get better at it. “
Luckily for Doncic, his early shower sunday did not hurt the Mavs on the court and the feuding dishonesty did not limit him to technicality. Dallas won 124–97, which put them ahead of the Trail Blazers for the fifth season in the West.
