DALLAS – The pass came in Luka Doncic’s direction, and rather than just catch the basketball, he very nonchalantly did a soccer chest trap, let the ball trickle down into his hands, and took a wild step-back three-pointer against Patrick Williams.
The Mavericks point guard went back into his bag of tricks in the third quarter, attacking the basket like he was choosing violence, and then when Coby White flew by him for the shot-block attempt, Doncic froze, watched White fly by, and simply banked in the 4-footer, adding a wink to his bench as he strolled back up the court.
