Luka Dončić put on a show in the Mavericks’ loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday, scoring 39 points with 13 assists and six rebounds. His most impressive play of the night came before the opening tip, though.
During warmups, Dončić connected with big man Dwight Powell on a perfect alley-oop—except Dončić’s lob was far from a typical pass. He dropped the ball behind him and kicked it behind his back right into Powell’s hands as he flew toward the rim.
It was a ridiculously challenging move, but Dončić made it seem routine.
