When questioned about Jaylen Brown breaking his ankles, Mavericks player Luka Doncic had the perfect response.
Monday night’s NBA action proved to be one of the most memorable regular season slates in recent memory, and it featured a few of the league’s top players putting on a show that was complete with monster scoring performances. But amid the huge scoring totals, which included Joel Embiid pouring in an incredible 70 points and Karl-Anthony Towns going off for 62, one specific play from the Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks game grabbed the attention of NBA fans.
During the second quarter, Jaylen Brown was defended by Luka Doncic and sent the Mavericks star to the floor with an impressive behind-the-back move, which resulted in the Celtics guard draining a wide-open jumper.
Credit to Doncic for taking it like a pro, even after the Mavericks ultimately fell 119-110 at home to the Celtics. The 24-year-old finished the night with an eye-opening triple-double, pouring in 33 points with 18 rebounds and 13 assists.
Brown had a big night of his own, tallying 34 points with four assists and three rebounds, but teammate Jayston Tatum stole the show a bit by pouring in 39 points with a double-double that included 11 rebounds.
One year after Ime Udoka of the Rockets’ affair with a Celtics staffer led to his departure from Boston, a judge orders Udoka to “pay $32,500 a month in child support to Nia Long” for the 12-year-old kid of the former couple.
