Love for Luka Doncic’s mom and grandma, who traveled to see him play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, would be a nice addition to his current star power.
Both Mirjam and his grandma Milena Poterbin were present at the TD Garden in Boston on June 10 to witness Doncic’s attempt to bring the Dallas Mavericks back into the game. Unfortunately, he was defeated by a final score of 105-98.Still, tҺe twо wоmen mаԀe quite аn impressiоn witҺ tҺeir gаme аttire, Ԁоnning Mаvericks jerseys beаring tҺe number 77 аs well аs tҺeir respective fаmily nicknаmes.
The Slovenian must have named his grandma “Babi” and his younger brother “Mami” when he was a kid in Europe before he came to the NBA, because those names were on the back of their respective jerseys.
Doncic owns up to the defeat.The Mavericks now have a long road back, as the Boston Celtics have a 42-1 series record when leading 2-0 in the NBA Finals. Their lone loss came against the Cleveland Cavaliers.Doncic, who had a remarkable triple-double in the NBA Finals with 32 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds, said that he was to blame for his team’s defeat because he was careless with the ball.
For the Mavericks, “It didn’t work because we lost,” Doncic remarked of the strategy. We need to take more shots before the game is over.I feel like we lost because of my turnovers and free throws that I didn’t make. Those are two areas where I need to significantly improve. Making shots is what matters most in the end.
Doncic is looking great. With 30 points, 1 rebound, and 11 assists in Game 1, his total for the two games is 62 points, 22 assists, and 12 rebounds.
