Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic laughs off missed dunk attempt

The Dallas Mavericks took on the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday afternoon. It was strange to play so early during the week. Luka Doncic and the Mavs got off to slow start. Perhaps the time of the game played a factor.

The Mavericks continued to fight back, though. It took them nearly the entire before they could tie the score at 95. The Mavs would eventually win 114-110 in overtime. Doncic led the way with a massive 34-point triple-double that included him grabbing 20 rebounds.

It was not all positive for the 21-year-old superstar, though. Let us take a look at a failed dunk attempt by Luka and his reaction on Twitter after the game.

In the second quarter, Dallas had the cut the Kings led to just two points with two minutes remaining. Doncic got the ball and decided to drive into the paint. After beating Buddy Hield, there was nobody between Luka and the rim. That is an automatic two points if Doncic lays it in. Except for some reason, he decided to attempt a dunk on Tuesday afternoon. It did not go well.

Shaqtin’ a Fool quickly picked up the clip. Luka laughed it off by retweeting it with the multiple emojis. It was one slip up during an incredible night.

Doncic produced a plethora of highlights against the Kings including connecting on the shot that put Dallas ahead to stay in overtime. Fans can see his top plays here.

It is something to build on in the bubble.
