Dirk game winner celtics

That game-winner has put Luka Doncic in rarefied Mavs air. According to ESPN , that shot from the Slovenian superstar has put him on par with Nowitzki for most buzzer-beating threes for the franchise including the playoffs. That ties Dirk Nowitzki for most in Dallas history. All 3 have been 3-pt FG. Doncic has a penchant for hitting these buzzer-beating threes to win the game: he has done it twice in the playoffs already both times against the Los Angeles Clippers.

From Robert Williams emphatically protecting the rim to Jayson Tatum doing his best Dirk Nowitzki impression after showing off his handles, here are the top five plays from the Boston Celtics victory against the Portland Trail Blazers. Among the highlights featured are perhaps the Celtics' best possession of the game and Payton Pritchard showing out in his hometown.

Dennis Smith Jr. DSJ attacks off the dribble but doesn't create much separation or get much lift when he rises for the layup. As a result, Williams swats his shot with ease. Jayson Tatum comes off a pindown from Robert Williams; a dribble handoff from Grant Williams acts as the second half of a staggered screen and gets Robert Covington switched onto Tatum.

The Celtics' All-Star forward attacks Covington off the dribble with a series of increasingly filthy moves, including putting RoCo in the spin cycle before pump faking and then knocking down the Dirk Nowitzki-style one-legged fadeaway.

One of them being Marcus Smart, who is arguably one of the best perimeter defenders in the game today. The Mavs star is starting to compile an archive of clutch shots from the left wing alone. But why? Read on and find out…. With that shot, the Slovenian superstar is now on par with Dirk Nowitzki for most buzzer-beating threes for the franchise including the playoffs.

That ties Dirk Nowitzki for most in Dallas history. All 3 have been 3-pt FG. The crazy part is that Luka is still only 22 years of age.
