Teammates laud Luka Doncic's vital defensive role in the Dallas Mavericks' 96-93 Game 2 victory over the LA Clippers.
. His teammates praised his significant but often underrated contributions on that end of the floor following their 96-93 victory in Game 2.
“I accept it,” Doncic said regarding his defensive responsibilities. “It gets me going on the defensive end, too. If they want to attack me, that’s fine. I think I played good defense today. I just got to stay locked in.”Teammate Derrick Jones Jr. praised Doncic for facing the challenge head-on, especially given his offensive workload. However, Jones emphasized how Doncic has been a good defender throughout the season and it's something that has gone overlooked by observers.
Maxi Kleber also commented on Doncic's defensive acumen, emphasizing his basketball intelligence and instinctual play. While a few isolated plays from a game may get picked out to discuss Doncic's defensive contributions negatively, Kleber emphasized how exhausting his offensive workload can be, making it understandable for potential instances.
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd emphasized the importance of Doncic's defense, noting that his effort sets a tone for the entire team.
