Luka Dončić Told Mavericks Coaches to Let Him Guard Karl-Anthony Towns One-on-One

The Dallas Mavericks picked up their third consecutive win on Sunday night, defeating the Western Conference’s current No. 1 seed, the Minnesota Timberwolves. While Mavericks star Luka Dončić was his typical dominant self on the offensive end, pouring in 34 points with eight assists, one interesting storyline was his defense, specifically on T-Wolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns.

Dončić defended Towns on numerous possessions down the stretch of the 115–108 win, and after the game, revealed that he told coaches to let him guard the three-time All-Star one-on-one. And his reason behind why he wanted to defend Towns certainly grabbed some attention.
