On Thursday, an uncalled event took place after the Dallas Mavericks’ Game 2 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. As Luka Doncic was ready to answer questions, a sound interrupted him and everyone in the room grew astonished. Doncic’s face almost turned blue when he heard the moaning sounds of a woman eco around the room. No one knew where it came from.
It was awkward for the numerous reporters and the Mavericks stalwart present in the room. They did indeed break into a confused laugh, and the moment exploded all over social media. NBA fans wanted to know the truth of the events. Just what or who produced that intimate sound during a post-game conference?
At first, the speculations deemed one of the members of the media to be responsible for it. But recently, Tim MacMahon, a respected reporter for well over 10 years provided curious fans with the actual truth of what went down when talking to Brian Windhorst on the Hoops Collective podcast.

Luka Doncic was pranked by a member
A lot was on the agenda for the NBA experts to speak about. However, Windhorst only had one question on his mind. Only moments after the podcast began, he asked his colleague MacMahon about Thursday night’s fiasco. Notably, the moaning sound began right as MacMahon was asking Doncic a question.
He firstly clarified that it wasn’t his phone that played the noise nor was it any other media reporter present in the room. He believes it was a “prank” played by one of the members present. “But to be clear, that was a prank from the hallway. That was not some lonely media member who needed to get back from Bricktown”. said the veteran NBA reporter.

The former Dallas reporter did diffuse the situation with a light-hearted joke stating, “My only regret is that I wasn’t quick enough to ask him ‘Luka, what did you think the climax of tonight’s game was?’”
Windhorst on the other hand was evidently surprised. He had never seen MacMahon as rattled as he did after the sound player in the midst of him asking a question to Luka Doncic. In the past, Tim MacMahon has had some controversial and clashing moments with the Slovenian as well as head coach Jason Kidd.

Early in January this year, Doncic and he got into an argument. In a loss to the Pheonix Suns, Doncic had a heated interaction with a fan. He instructed security to escort them out of the arena. At the press conference, the Mavericks star called out MacMahon for writing a supposedly informed report about the incident.
Amongst all the drama in his career so far, MacMahon might have been the most affected by Thursday night’s events. Who do you think should be blamed in such circumstances? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
