Luka Dončić dunked. No, really! With just under four minutes to play in the third quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers point guard commenced a stack pick-and-roll with center Deandre Ayton, with forward Jake LaRavia hustling to set the back screen on Ayton’s defender.

Nico Harrison was done with the Mavericks the day he traded Luka Dončić; he just didn't know it
Nico Harrison's legacy is cemented as the guy who traded Luka Dončić. Patrick Dumont, who, as the son-in-law of Mavericks majority owner Miriam Adelson, serves as the team's governor, definitely signed off on the deal and should not be spared a single ounce of ridicule, but sons-in law of owners don't get fired. General managers do.
The former Dallas guard expressed love for the city and fans and addressed whether he was looking for a reunion.
The Dallas Mavericks have afforded Anthony Davis a luxury that they apparently never gave to Luka Dončić during his tenure with the club.
The NBA had a small slate of five games on Saturday night with some big names trying to add more wins for their teams. Luka Dončić faced Giannis Antetokounmpo in a battle of MVP candidates required to do more with limited rosters. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets hoped to keep their winning ways in respective games for West seeding.
In what became the first six-team deal in NBA history, Harrison and the Mavericks landed four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade from the Golden State Warriors. The move saw Dallas continue to build around Dončić, a strategy they quickly gave up as they traded him just seven months later.
The Dallas Mavericks fired general manager Nico Harrison on Tuesday, dismissing the man who traded away fan-favorite Luka Dončić in one of the most shocking NBA trades in recent memory.
