With only 3 minutes into the fourth quarter, Doncic had Giannis guarding him. Antetokounmpo is a great defender, though sometimes not as good on the perimeter. Luka played like it was a mismatch for him, as he crossed Giannis with his signature step back three. The step back was followed by nothing but net swish. Giannis had recovered well and put up a great contest, but Doncic had no problem with his high arcing shot. The swish had the fans in a frenzy.
