Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic had a profane message for Timberwolves fans after hitting a huge shot in the fourth quarter vs. Minnesota.
Luka Doncic had ice water in his veins during the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 120-114 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center.
With Dallas leading by five points and a little over a minute remaining in the game, Doncic, with the ball at the top of the key and Timberwolves guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker switched onto him, dribbled just to the left of the Target Center logo, stepped back and drilled a huge three-pointer to extend the Mavericks' lead to eight points.
Doncic's clutch shot effectively ended the game—and he made sure to let Timberwolves fans know that, shouting a profane message in their direction moments after sinking the triple. After the game, Doncic, who shot 10-for-27 from the field and struggled from three-point range earlier in the contest, was at a loss to explain how he made the logo three-pointer and not some of his lower-degree-of-difficulty shots earlier in the contest.. "But, at the end of the day, I just needed to get the rustiness out and all the way back. I didn't play the whole preseason, so I need some time. But we got a win, and that's all that matters.
Last year in the postseason, Doncic averaged 32.4 points per game en route to taking home Western Conference Finals MVP honors as the Mavericks dispatched Minnesota in five games this past May.from the Timberwolves crowd. His heroics Tuesday will only add to the list of reasons Minnesota fans have to continue to boo the Mavericks star.Tim Capurso is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
