Luka Doncic didn’t hold back in his message to the Minnesota Timberwolves and the fans at Target Center after his clutch play for the Dallas Mavericks during their Tuesday showdown.
With just over a minute remaining and the Mavericks just five points ahead, 114-109, Doncic delivered a deep shot from near half-court to put Dallas up by eight. It was the final nail in the Wolves’ coffin, with Minnesota unable to come back as the visitors eventually took the 120-112 victory .
Aside from Doncic’s insane step-back triple that sealed the win for Dallas, however, his message right after the dagger was what had fans buzzing even more.
Doncic was seen shouting “That’s what I f**king do” while facing Timberwolves fans after his big-time shot.
Luka Doncic struggled offensively in the contest, finishing with 24 points after shooting 10-of-27 from the field, including just 1-of-8 from deep. He also had an injury scare earlier in the game , which had fans concerned.
Despite that, Doncic knows how to close out a game, and when it mattered most for the Mavericks, he delivered. That said, the Slovenian superstar has every right to talk smack.
