And boy, he did just that. Long range bombs from way downtown, the stepback into a mid range swish, or a floater inside the paint, Doncic unlocked every possible shot in his bag to punish the poor defenders who were hanging on for dear life. Dude exploded for 20 points on 72% from the field as it was obvious that he had a mission to finally put an end to this. Just look at how silly the defense looks jumping up and down all around him, as Luka walks his way inside and floats it up to Lively for the jam. This is too easy. (LIVELY LOB FILLER) And when Minnesota trapped him to get the ball out of his hands, Dallas used the 4 on 3 advantage. A 16 point lead at the end of the first quarter. If the Timberwolves wanted to stay alive in this one, they knew they needed to go all out right now. Only thing is, it was Kyrie’s turn in the second. 15 points on 5 for 5 in the quarter, and this is just toying with the opposition. A long 2 off the glass, as if he’s on the practice court. And defensively the Mavs defense made things extremely difficult for the Timberwolves. Make or miss, they had to work hard to even get off a shot. And on the contrary, Dallas did everything they wanted offensively, so by half time the lead ballooned to a staggering 29 points. This looked awfully similar to that catastrophic loss for the Suns 2 years ago where Luka came in on their home floor and absolutely destroyed them. He’s becoming a master of demoralizing the opponent in an elimination game on the road, as he and his team continued to pour it on, on the Timberwolves in the second half as well. A lead that was as big as 36 at one point, never fell lower than 26. In a shocking turn of events, Luka kept making shots and kept talking trash to the entire arena, every chance he got. So, with the Magic Johnson trophy in his hands, he leads the Mavs to the NBA finals for a showdown against the Boston Celtics.

Luka got tackled by Kris Dunn last night! But the Lakers responded with some genius plays down the stretch. So, let’s start from the beginning of the city rivals game where Doncic got super busy! Oh Oooh, when he starts pulling up 3’s from way downtown, you know you’re in trouble. And the best thing is, he was just heating up. Heat Check! Luka went crazy in the opening minutes, hitting 5 of 5 from beyond the arc. And he was staring at the Clippers bench after each and every one of them. His hot streak ended on the next possession when he initially got the whistle for 3 free throws, but after the challenge by Ty Lue, the call got overturned. This only added fuel to the fire because… Doncic with the block on Harden on one end and then the tough layup in transition! It was a full display of his arsenal as Luka counted to 24 points in the 1st quarter! Unbelievable! And speaking of that, check this out!Kobe Brown exploded to the rack, putting both Laravia and Kleber on a poster! Despite Luka’s brilliance, the Clippers actually had a 1 point lead after 12 minutes of action. #nba #lukadoncic #lakers
