Luka Doncic crosses PJ Tucker up and scores on him | Mavericks at Heat [VIDEO]
Luka Doncic crosses PJ Tucker up and scores on him
In four years, Luka Doncic has become the savior the Dallas Mavericks needed. Since their 2011 championship, the Mavericks have had noted struggles. For the seven years leading into Doncic’s arrival, the Mavs have only been a fringe playoff team. Even under Luka Doncic’s leadership, the Mavericks haven’t won a playoff series since their upset of the Miami Heat.
As was the case, a decade ago, the Miami Heat are one of the NBA’s best teams. Jimmy Butler is the leader of the team, now. Two years ago, Jimmy Butler led the Heat to an improbable Finals run, where they upset Giannis’ Bucks to get there. In the championship round, the Heat gave LeBron James’ Lakers a much stronger challenge than they anticipated.
Last night, the Dallas Mavericks played the role of spoiler, again. The Mavericks beat the Heat in Miami, after Jimmy Butler tried to recruit Luka Doncic to join them, next season. Whatever happens will happen, but last night saw Doncic put PJ Tucker on skates. Doncic crossed up the Miami Heat’s top defender and then easily scored on him.
