Luka magic: Doncic caps wild three-minute flurry by banking in game-winner as Mavericks take down Nets

With 3 mins ultimate, the Dallas Mavericks trailed the Nets by 5 issues, 115-110, on Friday. Then Luka Doncic took place. 

Finishing with 49 issues, Doncic knocked down 4 directly 3-pointers, every another tricky than the remaining, capped by an not possible financial institution shot whilst he was once just about falling out of bounds that proved to be the game-winner. 

In his on-court postgame interview, Doncic swore he intended to financial institution that remaining shot. You going to query him? I’m certain no longer. The guy is a magician. 

In addition to his 49 issues, Doncic completed with 10 rebounds and 7 assists. He made 16 of his 25 pictures, together with 9 of 14 from 3 and eight of 10 from the free-throw line. He did not devote a unmarried turnover. 

It feels just like the discourse is changing into increasingly more skeptical of Luka in phrases of the way he performs, which is James Harden-like in that he mainly hijacks the offense, and the best way he is at all times whining to the officers. Let me be transparent: Throw all that out the window. 

Doncic is among the few particular gamers who can do and say the rest he needs at the court docket, as a result of he is simply that groovy. His sum of ability and energy could be unequalled any place in the arena of basketball (most effective Nikola Jokic and LeBron James would also have a good case). He does not possible stuff as a question of regimen. He did it once more on Friday to raise the Mavericks to a 2-0 get started at the season.
