In the absence of star teammate Kristaps Porzingis, Luka Doncic carried the Dallas Mavericks to victory in Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
In fact, the Mavs star pulled off the biggest play of the game with an impossible step-back 3-pointer in overtime that won the game for Dallas, 135-133.
In the wake of Luka's game-winning shot that tied the series 2-2, several current and former NBA players expressed their disbelief with Doncic's shot.
Among those who had an immediate reaction to the crazy game-winner were Dwyane Wade, Zach LaVine, Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and Tristan Thompson.

What's more amazing is the fact that Luka Doncic finished the showdown with a 40-point triple-double, registering 43 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists.
The Clippers took the lead with less than five seconds left after Marcus Morris banked a 3-pointer to give them a 133-132 advantage. However, Luka didn't give up and took a gamble with his signature step-back shot.
Doncic certainly earned the respect of everyone in the league with his heroics. While he has already established himself as one of the top players in basketball today, his play in his first postseason only shows that he can perform in the big stage with the more experienced players.
Now, everyone will be waiting how he will perform in Game 5 in a critical moment for the Mavs and Clippers. The next game between the two teams is on Tuesday.
