After leading the Dallas Mavericks to a decisive victory in Game 4 of the NBA Finals, Luka Doncic received high praise from teammate Kyrie Irving for his resilient response to criticism.
In the wake of a tough Game 3 loss and subsequent scrutiny from analysts, Doncic bounced back with a stellar performance, scoring 29 points to help force a pivotal Game 5 against the Boston Celtics.
“I think he made a few people eat their words in a healthy way,” Irving said, acknowledging Doncic’s ability to rise to the occasion.
