Last night, the Dallas Mavericks grabbed a convincing 116-86 win over the Pistons to extend their win streak to 4 games. Luka Doncic was simply unguardable as the Slovenian went on to drop 33 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks, and finished the night with a game-high +/- of +35.
Throughout the game, Luka provided us with several jaw-dropping highlight plays. In fact, Luka was entertaining even before tip-off. During the pregame shootaround, Doncic tried to trap the game using his t-shirt. Much to his surprise, the ball was traveling much faster than he anticipated it to be. The result? The youngster got hit right in his groin, sending him to the floor.
Here, have a look at the incident.
