While getting posterized can be frustrating and demoralizing, Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic couldn't get disappointed about Andrew Wiggins' vicious slam on him. It's that good.
Speaking to reporters after losing Game 3 against the Golden State Warriors 109-100, Doncic opened up about the poster slam that has been making rounds online. He highlighted that he got hit, but he did admit it is as impressive as it gets when it comes to slam dunks.
“I got hit a little bit but that was impressive, I’m not going to lie,” Doncic said of Wiggins' dunk, per NBA reporter Dorothy Gentry.
Andrew Wiggins' dunk was initially called an offensive foul, and video replays did show the elbow of the Warriors forward hitting Luka Doncic. Unfortunately for the Mavs, it was overturned and the basket counted, sparking plenty of hyped reactions from the NBA Twitterverse.

Sure enough, Luka Doncic and the Mavs cannot focus on that play alone, no matter how big it was. The fact of the matter is they were unable to keep up with the Warriors' offensively, and that's something they'll have to resolve as soon as possible if they want to avoid a sweep.
Down 3-0 with a legitimate threat of getting knocked out at home, Doncic and the Mavs have to find an answer to stop the Warriors' offensive barrage while also figuring out what's wrong with their 3-point shooting that has doomed them so far in the series.
