Did you tune into the Luka Doncic show tonight? If you didn’t, you missed out on the Slovenian takeover as the Mavs crush the Jazz at home.

Luka Doncic has barely been back from injury and yet, he is putting up scintillating numbers. In the last 65 minutes of play, he has put up a remarkable 63 points.
Today’s emphatic win over the Utah Jazz means the Mavs are only one game away from clinching the series. But, in the post-game interview, Doncic added that the job is not done. Very Kobe-esque.
His domination today reminds us once again that he is coming for the throne. He cooked Rudy Gobert tonight and the whole world tuned in.

Luka Doncic takes over! He had more points, rebounds, and assists than any other Jazz player!
Luka’s dominance was not just team-best, it was opponent best too! No player on the opposite end had more points, rebounds, or assists than Doncic.

Will the Dallas Mavericks wrap up the series away from home? We’ll have to see in three days whether Luka can do his wizardry once again.
