Mark Cuban reacts to emotionally charged Luka Doncic screaming at Mavericks bench after 3-point shot

Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban was in attendance at the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday to watch Luka Doncic in action. This marked Doncic's first game against his former team after the Dallas-based franchise traded the Slovenian superstar to the Lakers earlier in the month.

Doncic was fired up from the moment the game began, making a strong statement in the opening quarter. The standout moment of his "revenge" game came in the first period when he hit a shot and then yelled at the Mavericks' bench.

Cuban, who was sitting in the stands, reacted to Doncic's emotionally charged moment after making the shot. Mark Cuban was seen grinning as a fired-up Doncic energized the crowd, sending fans inside the arena into a frenzy.

Meanwhile, Cuban had previously confirmed that he was unaware of the decision made by the Nico Harrison-led Mavericks front office to trade Doncic to the Lakers. In fact, the American businessman had once humorously claimed that if he were ever forced to choose between his wife and Doncic, he would pick the Slovenian star.
