Luka Doncic kicks the Mavs bench hard after missing easy layup

Luka Doncic faced a lot of pressure, entering this season. After two straight first round Game 7 losses to the Clippers, Luka had to lead the Mavericks on a playoff run. Unfortunately, the Mavericks got off to a slow start this season. However, Luka Doncic single handedly turned the season around. While Dallas did trade for Spencer Dinwiddie, Luka Doncic elevated his play.

Luka Doncic took the Mavericks from outside of the play-in to the third seed. Along with that, Dallas won the season series over Golden State. However, on the last day of the season, the Warriors won while Dallas lost. This allowed the Warriors to retake the third seed. Despite this, few saw how impactful that would be on the postseason. After all, 2022 was all about the Phoenix Suns.

Luka Doncic was injured, at the start of the playoffs. As a result, the Utah Jazz were favored in the first round. Instead of the Jazz going up 2-0, they tied 1-1. When Luka Doncic came back, Dallas won the series in six games. After that, Luka and the Mavs did the impossible, upsetting the Suns in Game 7. Last night, Luka’s run ended. When Luka saw it coming, he took his frustration out on the furniture.
