Luka Dončić Reacts to Rui Hachimura's Missed Layup
Luka Dončić displayed his exceptional passing skills during the Lakers' game against the Spurs on Wednesday night. He tried to surprise San Antonio's defense with a full-court pass to Rui Hachimura near the basket.
Hachimura caught the ball and went up for a layup but was fouled, stopping him from scoring. Dončić showed visible frustration, looking at his teammate with disbelief and pretending to yell before breaking into a friendly smile.
Hachimura Redeems Himself with a Three-Point Shot
Hachimura made up for the missed layup shortly after. Trapped in a double team along the baseline, Dončić delivered a no-look, one-arm pass over his shoulder to an open Hachimura, who sank a three-pointer.
This shot compensated for the earlier miss and was part of Dončić's impressive first half, where he recorded seven assists, 22 points, and six rebounds.
"That assist was one of seven Dončić recorded in the first half, and he added 22 points and six rebounds, too."
