Luka Doncic's Heated Exchange With Rudy Gobert Goes Viral

The tension between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks is already starting to build in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

During the first half of the WCF matchup on Friday night, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert swung his fist at Luka Doncic's midsection to stop the Mavs superstar from getting out on a fastbreak.

Doncic took clear offense to the foul, turning and giving Gobert a stare-down.

This heated moment is going viral on social media.

"League needs to review this , dirty player," one fan wrote.

"At no point did he make any effort for the ball," another said.

"I can't articulate how much I dislike this Rudy Gobert," another added.

"How this wasn't reviewed for a flagrant foul on Rudy Gobert I don't understand, this is not a basketball play, this is not a play on the ball, that is forearm gut punch to Doncic, should've been more than a take foul..." another wrote.

Gobert was assessed a take-foul penalty, but the play was not reviewed for a potential flagrant.
