[Saba Sports News] Luka Doncic may only be 25, but he has some veteran moves. Doncic scored 36 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 5 assists, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 124-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals on Thursday. He was named series MVP for his strong performance, showcasing tactics that many fans might have missed.
Jeremy Shardo, an assistant coach at Walsh University in Ohio, shared a video on X showing Doncic slyly grabbing Kyle Anderson’s jersey to hold him back, allowing Doncic to drive to the hoop. The video also showed Doncic stopping once he got past Anderson to draw a foul.
These next-level moves, reminiscent of Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, help set Doncic apart from other players in the league.
