With a three-quarters arm angle like a relief pitcher, Luka Doncic launched a high-arching hook that banked in for the game-winner against the Nets. 'I don't know how I made it,' he said.
teammate hit so many ridiculous shots, whether Doncic was messing around after practice or trying to score with a game on the line. This instance was the latter, and Doncic declared the go-ahead 3 that he banked off the glass with 26.1 seconds remaining Friday night to be the most difficult he's ever made in a game.
The shot was so ridiculous that several Mavericks cracked up and shook their heads throughout the ensuing timeout called by the Nets. Finney-Smith, who joked that he would refuse to discuss basketball when he met Doncic for their prearranged postgame dinner, claimed that Doncic absolutely did not call bank on the miraculous game-winner.
Mavs coach Jason Kidd admitted that he was shouting for a timeout in the moments before Doncic got off the game-winner. Kidd thought that Doncic was"stuck" and wanted to draw up an out-of-bounds play, but fortunately for the Mavs, the officials didn't hear his timeout request.
