Watch: Mavericks' Luka Doncic nails tough fadeaway, earning love tap from Clippers' James Harden
Luka Doncic's skills speak for themselves, but sometimes, even his fellow pros must acknowledge them.
Such was the case Wednesday when the Dallas Mavericks battled the Los Angeles Clippers. Late in the first half, Doncic posted up point guard James Harden before sinking a tough fadeaway shot in the former MVP's face.
Perhaps both frustrated and impressed with Doncic's play, Harden playfully slapped the Mavs star on the backside as he retreated to the defensive end.
Doncic's incredible basket was part of a late-half turnaround. After starting the game missing each of his first six shots, Doncic lit up the Clippers, going 7-of-11 from the field with two three-pointers to finish with 21 points at the break.
