The Dallas Mavericks are facing elimination after losing three straight games to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst harshly criticized Mavs’ star Luka Doncic following their Game 3 loss, especially focusing on his costly late-game foul.

Windhorst did not hold back, stating. “That Luka fell onto the ground there in an unacceptable position to put himself in with four minutes left and five fouls. And then immediately looks at the bench and says, ‘You better bleeping challenge it,’ as if it’s the bench’s fault that he just made a terrible play.”

The Mavericks cut a 21-point Celtics lead to just one point in the fourth quarter, but their efforts faltered when Doncic fouled out with just over four minutes remaining. This left Dallas without their star player at a critical moment.
