Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks showed no mercy on Sunday night. After playing as the underdog all series against the Phoenix Suns, the Mavs handed them a historic butt-whooping of epic proportions, 123-90.
Doncic had the rest of the NBA absolutely buzzing with reactions. Fellow All-Stars like Ja Morant, Trae Young, and Damian Lillard, and LaMelo Ball were left stunned by the Mavs' demolition job.
Some didn't even need to say much beyond his name. Luka Doncic is simply the man of the hour now with his Mavs cruising to the Western Conference Finals.
CJ McCollum gave a sound theory as to why Luka Doncic seemed unfazed by the prospect of Game 7 on the road. Before joining the Mavs, Doncic's experiences facing legitimately hostile road environments in Europe makes anything less feel like no pressure at all.
Kyle Kuzma thought to give props to the man calling the shots. Mavs head coach Jason Kidd did a masterful job turning Dallas into a defensive team this season, and it showed itself in Game 7.
Alex Caruso was also left in awe of Luka Doncic, but couldn't help but notice another Mavs legend in attendance – Dirk Nowitzki, who was looking chill as hell watching his team up big.
With the entire NBA world watching, Luka Doncic and the Mavs lit up Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and the top-seeded Phoenix Suns.
Predicting the Mavs to win the NBA title seemed far-fetched coming into the postseason. But after taking out the Suns, it's hard to keep doubting Luka Doncic and Co.
