Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic may be one of the best offensive players in the NBA today, but he isn't exactly an ace on the defensive end at this point in his career. New York Knicks All-Star forward Julius Randle took advantage of this fact as he shook Doncic off with a nasty jab-step fadeaway.

Here's Randle giving Doncic a dose of his own medicine (h/t NBA on Twitter):

It was actually a pretty heads-up defensive effort from Luka Doncic here. Unfortunately for him, he bought in too much into Julius Randle's jab step, which to his credit, was absolutely on point. The Knicks star knew exactly what he wanted to do in this particular play and he executed it to perfection–at Doncic's expense, too.

The Knicks have been on a roll of late, managing victories in all four of its previous contests. As a result, they were just one game behind the Atlanta Hawks and the Boston Celtics entering Friday's contest.

Right now, a Top 4 finish in the conference is still well within the reach of the Knicks. These are some lofty heights they're in right now, so let's just hope they keep on doing what they've been doing all season long.
