As it stands, no other team in NBA history has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit in the Finals. For Dallas Mavericks All-Star guard Luka Doncic , it’s not over yet for their team as they face the Boston Celtics. In Game 3 , Luka Doncic’s defensive performance left much to be desired.
While he consistently showcased his offensive prowess all season long, he fell short when it comes to defensive contributions against the Celtics in the NBA Finals. It’s clear that defense is not Doncic’s strongest suit.
Despite his 6’7″ stature, the guard doesn’t invest as much effort on the defensive end as he does on offense, where his skills are diverse and impressive. Even if that’s the case, the Slovenian All-Star still averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists during the regular season.
This strategy might work well in the regular season, but with the intense pressure of the Finals, it gets harder to hide Doncic’s defensive shortcomings. This was evident when the Mavs star tried to charge All-Star wing Jaylen Brown during a transition, but the officials ruled a blocking penalty. He fouled out of the game as a result.
