NBA fans are roasting Luka Dončić for falling asleep during Defense on Jazz’s Game-Winner

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic wants this asset back.

With the score tied at 113 and the final seconds of regulation ticking down, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson stood at half court near the logo. To his surprise, Jazz center John Collins was wide open under the basket for an easy dunk that ultimately became the game winner in Utah’s 115-113 win at Delta Center.

During that play, Doncic stood at the free-throw line and looked 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 fell behind by two points.

“Communication. There was a mistake there,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said after the game. “It’s happening and they’ve taken 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 consecutive 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.
