NBA fans roast Luka Dončić for falling asleep on defense on Jazz’s Game winner

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic wants that possession back.

With the game tied at 113 and the final seconds of regulation ticking off the clock, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson stood at the half-court logo. To his surprise, Jazz center John Collins was wide open under the basket for an easy dunk that ended up being the game-winner in Utah’s 115-113 victory at the Delta Center.

On that play, Doncic was standing near the free throw line, looking toward the Mavericks’ bench. He didn’t turn around and realize Collins had the basketball next to the hoop until it was too late.

Doncic looked around in disbelief after the Mavericks trailed by two points.

“Communication. There was a lapse there,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said after the match. “It happens and they took full advantage of it. We have to be better.”

NBA fans didn’t give Doncic as much mercy as Kidd after Dallas suffered its fourth straight loss:

Doncic scored a game-high 37 points on 13-of-25 shooting, but on at least one play, he clearly didn’t do enough defensively to get the Mavericks back in the win column.
