Watch: Did Luca Doncic hint at the judges' bribe? | Israel today

There is something to play for. 

The NBA playoff semifinal series reopened tonight (Friday-Saturday) after Dallas' wins over Phoenix and Philadelphia over Miami.

Luka Doncic, who was once again above all in the ranks of the Mavericks, when this time it was also enough for a big victory that shrank the series to 2: 1, was involved in tonight's unusual event, and it happened during the third quarter.

After being whistled for his fourth offense (at the beginning of the last quarter he had already reached five), he made a money move with his hands, apparently in protest of the refereeing, from which he was dissatisfied.

At the end, the Slovenian tried to explain what he had done and said: "It was not against the judges nor against Chris Paul. Yes, I do not think all the whistles against me were justified. Hopefully they will not fine me."

And for the second game.

Joel Ambide returned to the floor and helped Philadelphia defeat Miami.

The Sixers star as mentioned has recovered slightly from the severe injury to his face, and came into the game with a special mask.

"I did my best to get back as soon as possible," Ambide said after the game.

"I did not really think if I would be absent from the whole series, I just thought I should come back, I just did not know when it would happen."

James Harden praised his friend: "I can only imagine the difficulty of playing like that. I too have suffered a concussion in the past and I know how hard it is to come back from it. Joel knows how much we need him and he was there for us just in time. It's a real MVP."

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
