The Celtics beat the Mavericks again in Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals and are now just one win away from winning a championship.
After the game, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst joined SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt to discuss what he saw from both teams. He efficiently tore about nearly everything about the way Luka Doncic has played in this series so far against Boston.
It was a memorable appearance from Windhorst that you can watch in its entirety below, but it is more than worth your time.

Windhorst delivered quite a few memorable lines, including:
“I’m standing here in the Mavericks tunnel. Over there is the Celtics tunnel. That’s where the winners are. If Luka is going to ever be a winner coming out of this tunnel here, he’s going to have to use what happened in this Finals as a learning experience.”
He also added:
“His defense performance is unacceptable. He is a whole on the court.”
But this one stood out:
“They have begged him. They have talked with him. They have pleaded with him. He is costing his team because of how he treats the officials.”
Perhaps the most brutal was this:
“Maybe over the summer, somebody will get to him and nobody with the Mavericks or anybody else in his life has.”
The whole delivery sounded like a diss track, so fans took the time to edit that with famous beats for Windhorst.
