With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the star player made everyone aware of how efficient he is

In a video that showed Doncic’s smooth play, he arrives at the three-point line and breaks out an impressive behind-the-back dribble move. He then turns it into a very smooth step-back 3-pointer. One can hear the audience drooling over the make.

Doncic had 33 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, leading Dallas to the victory. He shattered a record while doing so.

Doncic has led the Mavs to become the most efficient offense in the NBA during the 2019-20 season in just his sophomore campaign.

Luka Doncic, along with his fancy footwork, has the Mavs vying for a spot in the loaded Western Conference playoff field. At 33-22, Dallas currently possesses the sixth seed in the west.
