Luka Doncic once again delivered a spectacular performance in the away win at the Toyota Center against the Houston Rockets. The Dallas Mavericks superstar dominated the game with his skill set. The Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. found himself a victim of Doncic’s world-class performance.

The Dallas Mavericks comfortably led the game with no trouble from their Texas counterparts. When the score was 70-47, Luka Doncic made a series of attempts to get past Smith Jr. at the 3-point line with the shot clock winding down. He faked and stepped through before converting with an improvised right-hand scoop shot to beat the buzzer. The spectacular shot looked effortless when Doncic shot it.

Moments like these have made the Slovenian standout this season. He is among the favorites for this season’s MVP title. If the Mavericks can secure a higher seed, Doncic might get his hands on the Michael Jordan Trophy. Smith Jr. defended Doncic very well. However, the Slovenian’s ability to think out of the box while being heavily guarded stood out even more.

He led the player statistics chart with 47 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists as he helped snap the Houston Rockets‘ 11-game winning streak. With eight games to go, the Mavericks should aim to finish out the regular season with at least five wins to ensure a playoff spot rather than a play-in spot.

One fan felt Luka was a cheat code.

Luka Doncic has proven his MVP credential this season as he aims to help the Mavs fight for their first NBA title since 2011. He is averaging 34 points, 9.1 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game this season. If he can continue his form, the Mavericks remain a threat in the Western Conference.
