The image is not flattering from any angle, and yet it will be the enduring one from these NBA Finals. The magnificent Luka Doncic is sitting on the ground, legs splayed wide, face exasperated, arms raised with his palms up, beseeching anyone who would listen to reverse his sixth foul of the night and give the Mavericks a chance to come back in Game 3.
It was his third foul in five minutes of the fourth quarter, and perhaps the closest call of the lot. The Mavericks, in a fit of desperation, challenged it, but the call stood, no matter how long Doncic sat and argued.
