It was the Dallas Mavericks who just couldn’t make one play to save their lives while facing the Toronto Raptors. A game that could’ve been won but was lost due to the incompetence of the players. And no, it wasn’t Luka Doncic who was to blame. In fact, fans were enraged as Doncic had to face disappointment because of his teammates. 

During the final seconds of the game, the Raptors had a three-point lead. And the Mavericks had a clear chance of sending the game into overtime. But the final play was such a head-scratcher that it left fans in a state of rage. 

Luka Doncic trusted his team

The Mavericks inbounded the ball with 16 seconds left on the clock. And Doncic decided to trust his teammates with the ball instead of looking for a shot for himself. He passed the ball away in the final minutes.

Doncic passed the ball to Maxi Kleber who threw the ball out to Reggie Bullock. Bullock, instead of shooting the three to tie the game, passed the ball ahead to Dorian Finney-Smith who turned the ball to the Raptors.

“He Got a Problem Everywhere He Go”: NBA Fans Slam Luka Doncic’s Teammate for ‘Talking Too Much’

And fans could just see the energy drain out of Doncic as he stood there watching his team create an absolute blunder of a play. Fans could not help but react to it. One fan tweeted, “I died a little inside when that happened and Luka just covered his face.”

Another fan commented, “If this is Wood with the ball instead of Kleber, it would have a been a bucket or at the very least a good look.  Smh.”

Here are some more reactions from Twitter.

Fans truly were heartbroken and enraged for Luka, who has been doing it all on the floor for his team to win.

A recap of the game

Doncic had 24 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals for the game, along with 1 block. And no other player on the Mavericks squad managed to touch the 20-point mark. Many have speculated that Christian Wood is the second-best offensive player on the team.

But even Wood had a mere 10-point game. The Dallas Mavericks have a generational player in Luka Doncic. But it seems like the front office isn’t willing to surround him with more talent for the team to win.

The game ended 100-105, a game that could’ve easily been won by the Mavs. This was by far, one of the most disappointing losses for the team.
