Tonight, the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston Celtics produced an absolutely thrilling game. It was the 21-year-old phenom, Luka Doncic, who was the star of the show as he continued with his tremendous form this season.

Doncic finished the game with 31 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. But it was his game-winning shot that sealed the victory for his team. Dallas had hold of the final possession of the game, and they entrusted it to their young superstar. As expected, Luka Doncic lived up to expectations by draining a stunning three-pointer at the buzzer!

This move reminded fans of Luka’s game-winner over the Clippers in the 2020 postseason, and Twitter had erupted after the shot. This was the case tonight as well, as many NBA fans reacted to Doncic’s sensational game-winner against the Celtics.

Over the last few weeks, Luka has been on the receiving end of some flak from NBA fans. The primary reason for this was his selection as a starter in the 2021 NBA All-Star game. Many sections of the crowd believe that Blazers’ Damian Lillard deserved the spot over Luka.

Whatever be the case, Luka silenced his haters tonight as he led the Mavericks to their 15th win of the season. However, the job is not done for the team by any means. In fact, they are not even in the top eight teams in the West right now.

Furthermore, there is cutthroat competition in the Western Conference right now. If the Mavericks want to stay in playoff contention, now is the time for them. Otherwise, the organization might have to give up on its dream to compete for the NBA Championship.
