ESPN’s Brian Windhorst did not hold back his thoughts on Luka Doncic after game 3 of the NBA Finals.

On Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks lost their third consecutive game against the Boston Celtics, going down 0-3 in the series.

In the fourth quarter, Doncic fouled out after attempting to take charge near the three-point line with four minutes left in the game.

While speaking to the media, Doncic blasted the referees for fouling him out during a crucial NBA Finals game.

During SportsCenter’s postgame coverage, Windhorst ripped into Doncic for constantly complaining to the refs during the series while playing poor defense.

“Luka fell onto the ground there in an unacceptable position to put himself in with four minutes left with five fouls and then looked at the bench and says you better bleeping challenge it, as if it’s the bench’s fault that he just made a terrible play.”

“He’s going to have to use what happened in these Finals as a learning experience. His defensive performance is unacceptable, he’s a whole on the court, the Celtics are attacking him and they are ahead in this series because they have attacked him defensively.

“And you got a situation here where Luka is complaining about the officiating, they have begged him, they have talked to him, they have pleaded with him, he’s costing his team because of how he’s treating the officials…His performance in this game is unacceptable and the reason the Mavericks are not going to win.”
