He picked the Wolves aside together with his passing and bought his teammates beauty all evening. As an example, 4 different Mavs scored in double-digits, together with Kyrie Irving’s 20.
Doncic visited the set of NBA on TNT post-game and shared his ideas in regards to the ultimate play. Shaquille O’Neal reminded him that the Defensive Participant of the 12 months switched on him, and that is what Doncic needed to say:
