Luka Doncic hit a buzzer-beater so wild that even LeBron couldn't believe it
Luka Doncic stole a win for the Mavericks with a stunning buzzer-beater against Memphis.
The shot came after the Grizzlies missed two foul shots that could have sealed the game.
Even LeBron James was in shock watching Doncic's miracle shot from home.
Luka Doncic stole a win for the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.
With seconds remaining against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Mavericks were trailing 113-111, with Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen set to shoot two from the foul line.
Allen has made 90% of his free throws on the season, and two more would have sealed the win for Memphis. However, in a statistical anomaly sent from the basketball gods, he missed both.
After a timeout to advance the ball, the Mavericks had 1.8 seconds to make a miracle happen - two points to tie, three to win. Dallas struggled to get the ball in but eventually found a floundering Doncic, who put up a prayer that would be answered.
Game Mavericks.

But on Wednesday night, he did something about it, hitting a prayer of a shot to move his team one game closer to safety from the play-in games.
