Luka Doncic is ridiculous and keeps hitting clutch buckets.
The 22-year-old (yes, he’s still just 22) made a buzzer-beating three to give the Dallas Mavericks a 107-104 win over the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.
And it wasn’t an easy triple (or at least for most players). Doncic nailed a step-back, high-arcing three-pointer over three Celtcs defenders.
Doncic led all scorers with 33 points — 12-of-21 from the field, 4-of-4 at the line on the night, while also leading Dallas in rebounds with nine.
Here’s how the buzzer-beating three looked and sounded on the Dallas television and radio broadcasts:
Luka gets to his spot.
Luka steps back.
Luka over 3 defenders.

Luka Dončić's game-winning buzzer-beater vs the Celtics was the 3rd of his career, including playoffs. That ties Dirk Nowitzki for most in Dallas history.
All 3 have been 3-pt FG. Only Vince Carter (5) has more such game-winning buzzer-beaters in NBA history, including playoffs. pic.twitter.com/xlkioIWHY3

There’s not much you can do about that one as the Boston defense. That’s just a fantastic shot from an incredible shot-maker.
Oh, and he did the same thing to the Celtics in February.
