FRAGMENTAL HOPE: Doncic’s efforts were broken before the 0-3 loss to the Celtics -Doncic was called up for 4 personal fouls in the 4th quarter

The NBA Finals saw the Dallas Mavericks play Game 3 without their main star.

Luka Doncic fouled out late in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s game against the Celtics while defending Jaylen Brown. Brown was headed for the hoop when Doncic stepped in his way and appeared to draw a charge that would have given Dallas the ball.

Doncic was called instead for his fourth foul of the fourth quarter. Doncic did not establish position with both feet on the ground, according to referees, hence Jason Kidd’s protest to the call was dismissed.
