While the Philadelphia 76ers were able to finish off the Chicago Bulls on Saturday to earn a sixth straight win, the Dallas Mavericks were locked in a battle with Philadelphia’s rival, the Boston Celtics.
With the game tied at 104, Mavericks star Luka Doncic was matched up with former Sixers guard Josh Richardson and he rocked him to sleep a bit before stepping back for a triple. Bang. Ball game. Mavericks win 107-104 at the buzzer.
Sixers guard Seth Curry, who spent a season with Doncic in Dallas before being traded to Philadelphia for Richardson, took to Twitter to give his reaction to Doncic’s winner. This is stuff that he has seen plenty of times before this one.
left step back jack! seen it before @luka7doncic

One could argue that Doncic and the Mavs are missing a guy like Curry on their roster. Even though Curry was 0-for-3 from deep on Saturday, he still had 11 points and the threat of him shooting the ball caused issues for Chicago. He would be helpful next to Doncic right now.
