Playoff Luka is BUILT Different

...fan game, Bullock, goes to spring, Luka with the step-back. They've got Chris Paul guarding Milikina, giving a little breather on defense. Dojic, got it! ...great example there on that last possession. Hayden on the switch, picks up Dojic, and got hooked. Deep fried. Some players whose greatness supersedes the rules, and Luka Dojic is one of those players. Dojic hands the ball, down by two. There's the switch. No barriers up here. Dojic maneuvers for the lead. Got it! Got it! What a shot! Dallas has taken the lead! Just what Reggie Miller said, go for the... Shot clock, it's four. Wiggins defends, Dojic with a bomb! Hits the three, 24. Is he ready for primetime, right? Is he a superstar? Once again for the rebound. Gotta go quick here, I'd get up and get two guys on him right now. Dojic with the desperation, A foul! A spectacular shot! Booker has it two in a row, seven points for him. The twirling Dojic. Melting into the defense, the front carry. Got it and a foul! I'm gonna count them out for you. There's one, okay? You wanna dance? Watch a little Kevin McHale shuffle, and then okay, I'll come right back into your body. There was about four... Donovan Mitchell now, four of 13, nine points in multiple turnovers. Start this third, it's really been Luka who's done most of the damage. Finney Smith throws it back up top, Kleber, now back to Dojic. Gets in the paint, drives it more, steps back and banks it home to tie it again. Guys hesitating right now. I like this matchup about Luka, could use that strength. Spins on Jackson, layup, it's good! 40-point triple-double, and the Mavericks are up two. Try to prevent that ball from coming in to him. Finney Smith to inbound. Back to Dojic. Dojic pulls up, three-pointer. Bang! Bang! It's good! Dojic wins the game at the buzzer! Let's go! Dojic! Inside, six minutes to go. Gafford rolling, Luka keeps. Dojic spin, fade away, it's gone! Foul line down. He's going to stop on a down. Will defend Dojic. Shot clock at seven. Step back, Preet. Preet is out there. Plenty of time on the shot clock. Here comes Luka Dojic, the NBA scoring champion against the six-man award winner with a spinner. Second 30-point game in this series. Works by McDaniels, who's got to be careful. Spins, fades, throws, hits. Dojic, two seconds, one. Dojic makes it in with .7 on the clock. Dojic gets into it quickly, lines it up. Luka Dojic is lethal. Nine-nothing run for the Mavericks. The Mavs, 13-32, 41%. Dojic, five to shoot. Against Hardy, Dojic lines it up. It goes! He is that guy! He does tend to enjoy himself out there. Yes, he does. Even in the thick of playoff pressure. Dojic forces up the shots and hits it! Luka Dojic with Randall Drake-Dolbrem going for a two-for-one there. And Dojic coming alive a little bit. Lead back up to 19, Dojic has to work expeditiously and got it to go! Off glass! At the buzzer! Final seconds. Dojic, the bump in the pool, firing, good as it goes! By Curry, which leads to this long dagger by Dojic as the first quarter comes to an end. A six-point swing here. And much needed as well in this series. Nineteen for Thompson. Nine at the half. Ah, Luka! Jack hammers it in. Ten-point game, nine and a half to go. Turnover, Hernan Gomez, two-on-one developing. He's going to do it himself! Blocked by Dojic! Gets back defensively! Leak out, Dinwiddie! Pump fake and all alone for two. Hernan Gomez lost it. Dojic drives to Exum. Exum, wide open three-pointer. Got it! Rattles it in! Dante Exum, who in the playoffs, just three of 14 from three-point range. How about the pass from Luka Duff? He has no vision. And I agree with Kawhi. I know you're sitting around thinking something's going to change after the call. Defense chases. Luka got three and takes it to the rack! He thought he got fouled, too. He's yelling and won. That's a good attack. Dallas, really look. Big-time offensive play by Mann that time. Hanging in the air. Oh, a one-legged three-pointer! Oh, spectacular! That's all Dirk can do. Dojic! Inside, he puts it down! It's against Gobert. Both teams are out of fouls. Dojic sizes him up. There's a three. He buries it! And I told you, Sparrow. And Dojic has it with a lively screen, tailed by Anderson. Heat check from Luka. Dojic again, another three. Got it! He's a flamethrower! He is on fire! Wiggins there on a quick show by Kerr. Now the blitz. He snaps it in the corner. Finney-Smith three! He's got two! And these were the looks that the Mavericks were getting in Game 3 that they couldn't knock down. Finney-Smith now already two. Dojic, one of six. Poole with a blitz and a long three. Luka! Dojic against George. Now on the switch, this is what happened in Game 1, and Luka's got all five for the Mavs. He can't guard me. This is the first quarter, Luka. He's warmed up a little bit. Here's Dojic again. Clippers on the board as Paul George scores at the 914 mark. And I like that from Paul George. If your jumper's not falling, and if you're not Luka, don't just make them all, Luka. What's going on? Unless it's get a thought out or something. Sheesh. The Suns led this series two games to none. Dojic, three. He's punching on the wing. Booker comes out on Finney-Smith, and Dojic goes right back. Cam Johnson working him down low. Dojic with the bump and the spin. Another two, and he's got 12. And just picking apart every single thing about his game that gives him comfort. Dojic, what a hard shot. Stunning. 27-point lead. Down goes Johnson. Oh, no. They're shredding him. Oh, no, he didn't. Luka Dojic is absolutely putting on a show here. Again, they've missed a lot of shots, so there's more opportunities, but they're taking advantage. 11 offensive rebounds. Dojic, long three-pointer. That's good. He's got 16. That is the second time in this basketball game that the Wolves have failed to sprint back, identify shooters. 14 for Luka. What is going on here? He is on one tonight. And he is giving it to someone in the front row over here as well. I'm getting quiet, letting it back into the ballgame, trying to put this Mavericks team away. Dojic from downtown. It's a six-point game. Dallas right back in it. And a timeout call by the Clippers. Hardaway kicks it out. Good scrambling defense here by the Clippers. Dojic, the euro step, layup, count it, and one. He stops, avoids the contact. It's a little one-two step. That's something you work on. I've said it a few times here, but they had their way every possession, it seemed, in game four. They got to the basket with ease. Step back, three, good. He hits another one. Dojic has got 17. 13-point lead, the largest of the night for the Clippers. And that double team, as you see, Reggie Jackson with a shot before. It was Marcus Morris knocking it down. The Utah Jazz, who wound up having to go down to the G League. He said it was a very humbling experience. Oh, nice euro step. 19 points, nine rebounds, eight assists on a bad angle.
