NBA analyst unloads scathing criticism at Luka Doncic after Mavericks' Game 3 loss

While there was some debate over a few of the fouls assessed to Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic in Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals, ESPN insider/analyst Brian Windhorst offered a very different response.

Following the Boston Celtics' 106-99 victory, which gave them a 3-0 series lead over Doncic and the Mavericks, Windhorst unloaded on the 25-year-old star. 

During a segment on "SportsCenter," Windhorst said Doncic was "in an unacceptable position to put himself in with four minutes [left] with five fouls" when he got tangled up with Jaylen Brown and ultimately fouled out.

"I thought it was perfect that Luka fell onto the ground there in an unacceptable position to put himself in with four minutes [left] with five fouls and then immediately looks at the bench and says you better bleeping challenge it, as if it's the bench's fault that he just made a terrible play," Windhorst said.

"I'm standing here in the Mavericks tunnel, over there [points] is the Celtics tunnel, that's where the winners are."If Luka’s ever gonna be a winner ... he’s gonna have to use what's happened in this Finals as a learning experience," Windhorst continued.
