Igor Kokoskov knows Mavericks rookie sensation Luka Doncic’s penchant for step back 3-pointers well.
Perhaps better than most because Kokoskov, the Phoenix Suns’ head coach, instructed Doncic on the Slovenian national team in 2017, a year before Doncic became a bonafide NBA star during his first season in Dallas.
But if Kokoskov wanted a reminder when the Suns faced the Mavericks on Wednesday night, Doncic made sure to provide one quickly.
Midway through the first quarter in American Airlines Center, Doncic made a 3-pointer as forward Mikal Bridges tried to guard him but fouled him instead.
