In an interesting basketball match, Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic secured a 125-120 win against the Brooklyn Nets with an incredible game-winning basket. Fans and opponents were impressed by his clutch performance.
With the scoreboard at 120-120, the pressure was clear in the final seconds. The Mavericks seemed in a difficult situation with the shot clock running out. After a brief exchange with teammate Maxi Kleber, Doncic, under tight defense from Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O’Neal, made a one-handed toss from beyond the three-point line. This gave the Mavericks an important 123-120 advantage with just 28.1 seconds remaining.
While the Nets’ Cam Thomas made a great effort to level the scores with a 3-point shot, it was unsuccessful. Josh Green of the Mavericks further increased their lead by making two free throws and sealing the win.

A major highlight of the shoe is its engineering, designed to support nonlinear movements. The Jordan Luka 2 comes with full-length Formula 23 foam and the IsoPlate, working well with the newly introduced medial Cushlon 3.0 wedge foam. The four-part midsole design keeps the player balanced. While the Formula 23 foam offers direct underfoot comfort, the other components, including a soft foam wedge, ensure the foot remains in the proper angle for pushing off the court.
The shoes were released with a $130 price tag (up $20 from the previous model) showing its premium build and features. The Jordan Luka 2 launched its five distinct colorways over the summer, allowing fans and players to choose a design that suits best for them.
