Luka Dončić dominates even when he is not fully fit. Despite a cold and health problems, he scored 35 points for the Clippers in Los Angeles and gave Dallas a 3:2 lead in the series (123:93). It seems he had an additional motivation. He probably saw a controversial banner…
The company “Skajskener” wanted to make an advertisement for itself and to humiliate Dončić and the Mavs. Across the hall in Los Angeles, she left a digital billboard that said ‘From Dallas to Cancun, visit our site for great deals’. It caught on quickly. One fan even wrote, ‘Thank you on Luca’s behalf.’ .
Given that Dončić is active on social networks, it would not be a surprise if he saw all this before the game and that it was all “extra fuel” for him at a time when he was not feeling the best in terms of health. The next match will be played in Texas, and if the Mavs defend their home field, they will secure passage to the West semifinals and a duel with Oklahoma. In that case, the Clippers will be able to start booking tickets for the aforementioned resort.
After the match, Luka did not want to attach too much importance to the cold. “I try not to think about the cold and all that. This is the playoffs, I play on adrenaline, emotions, that’s how it is. As for the matches, we watch the footage, communicate, talk about everything, energy and communication are the key. We need is another victory, we will do our best to play like this at home as well”, Doncic is clear.
