The Dallas Mavericks got some very good news on Monday night, beating the Indiana Pacers, 127-104, after several games featuring lackluster play and painful losses.
As usual, Luka Doncic led his team with 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists.
There was one moment with Doncic that had everyone talking – including four-time champion LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.
James retweeted a video of Doncic creating an epic, jaw-dropping pass from the sidelines straight to Jaden Hardy.
“Man that’s SIMPLY INSANE!!!!” James said with a slew of laughing emojis to show just how impressed he was.

During the play, Doncic looked like he was about to be pushed out of bounds by a pair of defenders from the Pacers.
But he was able to spot Hardy from across the court and rocket the ball to him, just in time for Hardy to put up the shot and score.
It was an incredible play and required wonderful foresight and vision from Doncic.
Believe it or not, his 8.1 assists this season are actually near a career-low.
Meanwhile, Doncic is scoring more points than ever before although his team doesn’t have a lot to show for it right now.
They are still stuck in 11th place in the West and are desperately trying to climb back into playoff contention.
Monday’s win was very important for the Mavericks but the road ahead remains tough.
Next up for them is a game against the Philadelphia 76ers, followed by others against the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks, and Sacramento Kings.
Will Doncic continue to assist his team as he did on Monday night or is the season nearly over for the Mavs?
