Luka Doncic Top Plays of the Season So Far! | Pt. 3

Nothing shocks me about this game. And that drew rim. It's still in play! 3.9 seconds left. Here's how it went down. Here's Carter. Stolen by Dutchess. And the Mavericks are running it back with Luka against Ben Simmons. Oh, what a flip! And Clemo! A fancy finish, but an even fancier pass. And when you come to New York, you are a headliner. And that is a showstopper. 61% so far. They're trying to switch back. Bones. Luka cuts through. Extra pass. Wood. Got it. When Dutchess was at the rim when he kicked that out. By Cartaway. Maneuvers away from the closeout. Luka maneuvers away from the closeout. This is a holy moment right here. That's nice, though. That's real nice. Been a timeout call, but we ain't going nowhere. We're going to let you look at this. You make him go back right. I don't think this is easy. Nice play there. Bullock for three! High pick and roll involving Luka and Powell. On the double. Finney-Smith. Bullock. He's driving it. And look for Finney-Smith. It's a loose ball. The beauty of all of this is the ball movement is excellent. This time, Luka not able to make the pass, but the basket. Simple and plain in the right place at the right time to knock down this three-pointer. It was almost eternal. Luka just had the presence to get it, let it go, and what did you say? Nobody's got a knack for doing that. It's incredible. You've got to stay engaged. Here is Luka looking for Woods' alley-oop. Great finish, but the pass. Of Luka's four assists. Certainly the prettiest. And Wood. What a night he's having. 17 points. And now a 16-point advantage. Wood screams. Luka drives. A chew-up up on Luka. Luka can't dance like this. And I certainly don't have the size to see over defense like that. As he gets around Clarkson and L.A. for an easy bucket. Facundo Compasso in the game. Donchich. Oh, bounce pass from a sitting position, and it was an absolute dime. Around the screen. Picked up by Booker, who takes on the challenge. Good D by Booker to get the force, but it's that type of night for Luka. Which is encouraging. I'll tell you what else is. This move, this is good defense by Devin Booker. But Luka finding a way to work the angles and get a look. Nice double-team by Dallesen. Jabari Green paid up some time on the clock. Put him with the yoke and yoke. 44. Finney-Smith. Shot clock is at 7. Luka doubled. Finney-Smith for the lead. And Finney-Smith has not shot the ball particularly well. Before that, George was 19 of 22 this year. Four straight games. And this is still going to be in rhythm for he and Luka in that pick-and-roll. That was a fabulous pass. And that's why the dunk looked so awesome, because Luka laid it. Long pass, Denny Obdia. Obdia, that is. Another great find of Powell. Up here amongst the referees. Or Dwight Powell. In the first half until then. Luka, nice move. Wow. Look at that. It's a nice look. How did he even have the angle for that? That's craziness. I mean, there is a big guy. And the offense, they just don't have enough weapons with Davis out of the lineup. Oh, pretty. Donja tangs but can't finish. Got the offensive rebound. Oh, and a fake. He totally faked that, Gabriel, and then just scored. This guy, he has such incredible patience. Now, once it goes up, see, he's following that shot. He's going to go down inside. Now watch, a little ball fake. Defender looks. He goes right back up. Just toying with Wynyon Gabriel. See, when you're sitting at court, sir. He's got 37. Curry's got 26. He'll drive and feed. Josh Green with the three. Like he hasn't been in a real winning situation. Second year in the league after two years collegiately at Virginia Commonwealth. And ninth. Boal had a game over the weekend against the Kings where he scored 23 points and shot 10 for 11 from the floor. He's the league leader in two-point percentage, 75%. Donja playing with his food. Clinic. That's ridiculous. That's a clinic. Well, that's ridiculous. Made the game-winning shot with nine seconds to go when Phoenix won on opening night 107-105 against the Mavs. Luka looks right. And it is string music. There is Luka again looking right, passing left. And it's Kleba. Donchich will put it in. Hasn't scored since midway through the third. Denwood, he gives it right back. Shooter on Donchich. Three-pointer on its way for the top. It's good. Donchich, a clutch three. Decided not to double Donchich like they have been the whole second half to not open up other people. But that gives Donchich a chance. Hadn't had a bucket since the 5'22 mark of the third quarter. And with six seconds to go, the game is tied. Three to shoot. Donchich trying to get some room. Three-pointer. It is good. Donchich sticks another one to tie the game. Donchich, a three-pointer to tie it at the end of regulation. A three-pointer to tie it. It's always one guy that really stretches up. Luka's rainmaker. He was really just trying to draw the foul and had the presence to get the shot up. It'd be one thing. Offensive foul as Shinkun left his feet. It's Denwoody into Luka. Just has a knack, an uncanny ability to seize the moment of an opportunity. See that. Using the screen, backing away. Got a little foul trouble. They went away from him. And here is Luka. Play three ball. Nice spin. Don't look. Tim Waterway, Jr. And over 50% so far, 61% early stages. What a pass by Donchich. What? Lasers it in to Christian Wood. Look at this frozen rope pass here by Donchich. He's looking at us. Look at that. What he's doing right now to this Bucs defense against great defenders like Drew Holiday can't be overstated. Luka using the body to get him off and then just the beautiful behind the back pass and Kleba able to knock. Got a hold of it. Just a great into a terrific first quarter. Luka and the Mavericks at both ends of the floor. Nine of the points for Kawhi have come here in the third quarter. Kick out by Luka. Denwoody straight on three. What a beautiful pass by Donchich. I'm not worried about that. It's all good. Here's Powell screening and Luka shooting. Can't guard it. First half, 24 points. Here's the line. Caught it. Drives. Here's Luka driving, spinning, shooting. What he has to do down the stretch. Went in, came back around with a little spin move. And there's that. Averaging eight a game. Obadiah with 15 off the bench tonight. Luka against Coos. Bump. Luka around the D and that falls in. He's so elusive. Left elbow. It's been a physical game today against the Clippers. Nice spin that time, Luka, to get away from Morris that time. Good concentration. What a clock. They're just playing. Nice pass. And that's good shaker by McGee off the alley-oop from Luka. You see that developing yesterday. He has a frame. There's the pick-and-roll. It's one of those cases where they don't have anything to lose. Nice swing there. Cross-court pass. Good finds. We saw what he was capable of on Monday night in the left-hand laser. And Kaminga will begin on him. Step-back free. Turnovers. Luka on that step-back going left. When he's making that shot. Utah tried to make it a one-shot game. Dallas up four. Three minutes left of the game. And Luka. Players in the leagues and scores again. Got 33 tonight. Five boards, 11 assists. That was his last. Doncic against Nance. The spin, the fake, the bucket for Luka Doncic. And he cuts it to three. Here's the first one. Great spin, and we talk about that footwork. Six straight points by Detroit. Have them back in front by two. Double on Luka. Wood. Driving, slamming. Tie game again. You change up who you're running the pick-and-roll. Two desolate teams. Six on the shot clock. And Kleba. He's ready to let her rip. You know when a shot has a chance is when you don't hesitate. Porter slams on the brakes, and Luka deflects that pass and takes it away. Luka ready to go to work inside. Turnaround fall away is good over Jeff Green. The big mains wearing different uniforms. On March 5th at American Airlines Center, Luka fouled and won. It's on. You already put it in the atmosphere yesterday, day before. I'm looking forward to that without question. Could that be the thing that limits him again? We shall see. Hopefully, good cut there. This is normally going the other way around with Powell cutting and Luka passing, but it's Dwight up top. Luka doing a good job setting up the defense. As Miami goes to the zone. Did you necessarily designate a guy to take your technical fouls? Yeah, the best one. The best free throw shooter earned the right. Okay. Nice roll and bucket. Well, Doncic has great vision, but also great size to look over this double team. Finding Finney Smith. Good defense, but a better shot by Doncic. As you said, Hunter's big, strong, working hard, and then the ability to step by him, take the contact, and finish. See, Jeff, I take offense to people who say that. Luka in the paint, drops it off. Christian Wood flushes with a foul. Excellent pass by Doncic. There you go. Wood inside of three guys. Sheldon Johnson chasing Luka. Luka spins away from Lankford, and he's fouled as he scores. I love the way they're sharing the basketball. I think Emmanuel quickly set that tone early as Luka. This easy. Doesn't get too high off the ground. I mean, you could put a dictionary. He's not an efficient player yet. Nope. There's a lot of room to grow from that standpoint. Nice pass. Oh, and down the chimney. The Rockets' defense, right at the last minute, he laid it up there perfectly for Powell to go kapow. Seems like he'll average 17 points for a long time. That talented. Yuka working against Austin Rivers. A three-pointer on the money for Luka. Boy, that's his spot. There it is. That spot right there. He'll make that one. Govara already seven points and four rebounds. Post-up opportunity here for Luka inside. Luka on the strike. Yeah, same old game. Luka dominated in the first quarter. Leads the lead in scoring in that first quarter. Switch situation at around Jordan. Darting through the lane and somersaulting. Again, below the free-throw line. Looking for the bump, taking the bump, and then just doing that unreal stuff that you were talking about. Little gymnastics routine down on the floor, too. Luka averaging 1.7 steals a game so far this year, 14th in the league. He anticipates well. Down he goes. Exactly that. As you take a look at the step back. Jacked by Luka Doncic. And this team really changed when he was acquired last February. The pirouette is good. And one, Luka Doncic. His dribble, we've seen this many, many times. Stop, turn, another shot fake. The pivoting is outstanding. A 10-0 Bucs run. They've taken a four-point second-quarter lead over Dallas. Here is Doncic, methodical. And a chance for three for Luka. On the first pick and roll, then Luka gets the matchup he wants with Connaughton. Lopez retreats back to Cleaver. And, again, Luka just using his body. They didn't play together there, but Garuba goes at Real Madrid before coming to the end. And, of course, we know that's where Luka was. Look at this pass. Wow. Again, over the goal. I don't know if it's been missed. Three of the Bucs is in the transit. The main field goal of overtime between the two teams. They're a combined 0 for 8 for the floor and OTA. Will be reevaluated soon, but no official timetable on when AD will be back. And will the Lakers still be in it when he does come back as Doncic gets the basket, his 25th point. That is just a great move by Doncic. Keep an eye on it. How about the extension? And then take the hit and still be able to play the board. Minnesota at four in the fourth quarter. Four seconds left on the shot clock. Winding down to four minutes left in the game. Another open three generated by Luka. And it's hit by Bullock. If I was coaching tomorrow, I would get him a shot. When he's on the floor. He's one of the best shootings in the league. That's outstanding. Finish by Doncic. That's our dream. Here is a circus shot by Luka. And nothing, nothing since. Nada. Luka, oh, he looks off the defense. Another post up for Luka. Turns towards the baseline and hits it against Bogdanovich. It's on top, 73-65. Doncic up to 25. Curry at 16. The perimeter, you have to do it against this Milwaukee team. 40% this year on three. Lop, finish. Powell, a rim rocker. Nice. And then a steal of the inbounds pass by Jorian Finney-Smith. Luka makes this a one and done trip after the missed three by Trent. Here comes Luka. Lease it for Hardaway. And a big flush by Tim Hardaway Jr. He's awesome. He's superstar type when he's good. Wide open catch and shoot. Sometimes it's wide open. Powell has his first points as he was the recipient of an alley-oop last time down. He's got two more. The recipient of another Luka dime. And he's got a chance for three the old-fashioned way. To drop dimes. It's right per pass. Jordan off the bounce. Not easy to do. I'd like to. Luka, how many times has he put Zubats in the torture chamber? Fancy finish. There's a timeout on the floor. You were talking about him dancing on Zubats and able to use the glass. I just love watching Dave Willard play. He's just so nice to watch. Wood up top for another lob from Luka. Just being aggressive all eyes on Luka. Nice lob up two. And it's a rebound secured by Shaden Sharpe, the rookie. What a piece of it. He says for the three. Oh, it's a D-2. It spurts pretty well. But shots are short with the exception of Mr. Dinwiddie. There's a five-second differential. Shot clock game clock. The Mavericks will have a foul to give when they're defending. And here is Luka with a dribble. Nails it. String music. Luka. Well, this is his favorite shot. That's setback three on the left side. Luka Doncic. Otto Porter and Gary Trent Jr. have been waiting for a while to get back in the game. You can't stop him. Into the paint. The fancy finish. He's got to figure it out how you're defending. He's not a bad defender. He should learn everything. Christian Wood's in the game, but it is a wide open lane to drive. No resistance whatsoever for Luka to take it to the hoop. He's played one game since, but had a three-game suspension for a fight with Mo Bamba. Here is Kyrie working off the ball. And Luka finds him. Bullet pass and a layup. All day, I'm going to be the last possession for Dallas. TD down 8 of 10 from the field. 17 points. Here he is trying to check Luke. And this is what Luka can do. He can just throw his weight around. Take a look at the defense right there. First of all, TD having to go up against. His 29 games before his recent return to the floor. He's got to come back soon. Luka, down he goes. And down goes the shot. And that's not an insult. That's just a fact of life. You can try something different, though. I mean, Luka has come off on the pick and roll. That play by Anthony Gill. Spin move against Barton. Into the teeth of two defenders. And over two defenders. Nowhere to go. Pollock hesitates. He does find Finney-Smith on the pass. Here in the third quarter. That's good basketball. You get in the lane, defense is going to come. Dallas Mavericks trying to snap out of their three-game skid. Luka steps back over. And says, what did you think was going to happen? Getting the switch. Good initial D. I mean, that's again. Powell hit the deck. Capella all alone on an island. Luka with the floater. Got it. And took out his do-it-yourself kit, Jeff. And he's going against Capella. And they've got to get more support. Good avoidance. Three minutes gone by in the third quarter. Portland in front by 16. They're led by 19. Here's a move by Luka. And this one off the glass is good. He missed one of those little runners a minute ago, but that one falls. Seven points, seven assists. Keep him from staying aggressive. Got to that spot you talked. Long drop for Doncic. Catch. Nice finish. Doncic put it right in the sweet spot. Anthony Davis missing his 19th consecutive game of foot injury. As Doncic gets the whistle. And it goes. Dinwiddie on his own. And then Doncic, just great footwork after picking up the dribble. Looking for an assist on a hardy three-pointer. That one was no good. Luka challenges that Hurd-Jones shot. It's a no-call. It's a missed basket. And it's Dallas headed the other way. But they're not going. Unable to stay in front. That thing went in and popped out, right? Is that what y'all thought? It was like James Harden did that in a game a few years ago, right? Another three-pointer. Yes, sir. A three-pointer for Ari Smith, Jr. And that's the first bad-looking shot he's taken all game long. It is. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Powell testing time from Luka. Onnie to Dwight Powell. By the way, with a foul there. Here is the outlet. Man. That's nice. That was nicer than the Martin Bertans pass. It was harder. Yeah. There's no question. Couldn't put as much air under that path. Now, they have corrected that on the official stat sheet here. It is a basket for Powell, not for Luka. I was going to tell you that, but I figured you would know. Here's Luka getting in the lane once again. And a quiet 17 points for Dutchich. And just nine shots for the floor. To the corner, Bullock. Another three goes down for the Mavs here in the second half. Now, this is just good ball movement. Just watch what happens when the double-team comes. The pass is made. Staying connected. Luka again for three. Bullseye! He is putting on a show. Showtime at the Apollo. That's Minnesota. McGee, a screen. Luka locks it up for him, and it's a jam for Chavelle. Four shot attempts, but five dimes, including this. Well, he just probes and probes until he knows that the big is open, lobs it up, and. And almost. Perfectly. Almost 40% from three. That's 18 he's made this year. Dancer right back. In that same spot. Wood has done. Here's his last three. Well, that's his spot. He pulls up from there. Luka inside. And boy. Luka dancing. Probably not nearly the rim protector that Allen is. William, seven of 11 with that miss. Guys only missed four shots tonight. Luka looking over the top of the defense to the corner. Dorian Finney-Smith drills it. Corner threes as Luka creates so many opportunities on corner threes. And he dishes to Dodo to make that one his 28th corner three of the year. Here's Luka. Luka dips inside and finishes. Donchich. As we said, the Bucs have an assortment of defenders that they can throw. Drew Holiday as good as anyone at staying in front. Of his career, six this season. Dancing on Najee in the paint. Up and down. Right. He knew he had Najee. Out on the island. Yeah, he's just playing. The shot. The cross court pass by Green. The official on the baseline about some holding going on, some scratches on his arm. Trying to get a look at. Scott Foster, the crew chief, has gotten a earful. Wow. Stepping into the three-point shot and trying to close the advantage. Bucs still have led the entire way tonight. Kept alive by Klima. Mavericks can hold for the last shot. That's good energy that time and effort. Penny Smith along with Dwight Powell. Let's see if they can cash in here at the end of the quarter. They can cash in because it's Luka. To get that back six on the shot clock. Donchich. Nice feed again. And Wood. Out in the third. Folks, he's made 10 of 14 shots. Now there's a handoff that's taken to be right in front of us. No foul. Powell. In the open court. Luka with a nice bounce pass to the trailing Dwight Powell. From 22 points in the beginning of the quarter all the way down to two. At the end of the quarter, here is Luka. It's been a steady diet of him at the end of the quarter. And the Mavericks feasting on that diet. Luka scores again. Yet again. Too small. And now Luka initiates. Against Simon. Guys. Small on Luka. Doesn't have a chance. A little spin to the baseline.
