Luka Doncic puts Dwight Howard on poster dunk | Mavericks at Lakers [VIDEO]
Luka Doncic dunks on Dwight Howard and silences the LA crowd
Since 2018, Luka Doncic has played in the NBA, and led the Dallas Mavericks. In 2020 and 2021, Luka led the Mavericks back into the playoffs. This is when Doncic made it clear the Mavs are his team. During the 2020 bubble, Luka Doncic led the Mavericks into a seven game battle with the Clippers. Then, 2021 saw the Mavericks lose in another Game 7 to the Clippers. This season, Luka Doncic has played like a man with a grudge.
The Lakers are the team everyone has taken their frustrations out on. Entering this season, LeBron James’ squad was expected to contend for the title. Instead, the Lakers are on the outside looking in at the Suns, Warriors, Grizzlies, Jazz, Mavericks, and Nuggets. Luka Doncic forced the Dallas Mavericks into that conversation. Meanwhile, the Lakers are looking at a second consecutive year of competing in the play-in, and that’s not a guarantee.
Last night, Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a 109-104 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite it being a close game, the Lakers and the fans are disappointed. The game was highlighted by a poster dunk from Luka Doncic. Once upon a time, Dwight Howard was one of the top shot blockers in the game. That was as recently as 2020, but in 2022, Luka Doncic got up for a poster dunk, and he dunked all over Dwight Howard.
