Why it matters
Highlights exceptional athletic feats that drive fan engagement and sports media coverage.
LOS ANGELES — For as poorly as the Los Angeles Lakers shot the ball in the first half, Luka Dončić's buzzer-beater might serve as a wake-up call.
Dončić got the ball off a Walker Kessler rebound with six seconds left before halftime, dribbled up to the top of the opposite key and launched a 62-foot Hail Mary that he practices religiously. Maybe that's why it looked good coming out of his hand.
