Apparently, that extra work Dallas Mavericks’ point guard Luka Doncic put in following Wednesday’s 19-point loss to the Charlotte Hornets paid off.
Doncic was a mere 0-of-5 from 3-point range against the Hornets, one game after going a mere 0-of-5 from downtown last Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers. In fact, after Doncic misfired on his first two 3-pointers against the Miami Heat on Friday night at American Airlines Center, at that point he was a miserable 2-of-23 from behind the 3-point line this season.
Thus, when Doncic finally got a 3-pointer to fall in the second quarter of the 93-83 victory over Miami, he raised his hands in triumphant and looked to the heavens and smiled while jogging back down the court.
