After Curry's shot was blocked and the Mavericks lost the game, the camera showed Doncic and he was so angry that he exploded. Doncic was not dissatisfied with Curry's missed shot, but the team's failure. What's so irritating is that you let your guard down when you were leading by 20 points, leading to a collapse in the final quarter, and thus losing a game that shouldn't have been lost.
The Mavericks played in the festival before, performed very well, and defeated the Suns. They entered the competition after a day's rest. They hoped to continue their winning streak, but they lost the game. The Mavericks' next opponents are the Timberwolves, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, and the Warriors led by Curry. Both opponents are very strong. We look forward to the rebound of Doncic and the Mavericks.
