Andrew Wiggins destroyed Luka Doncic in Game 3 with a monster dunk and fellow Canadians Ayesha Curry and Jamal Murray were hyped. Maple Jordan was clearly the player of the night for Dub Nation.

The Golden State Warriors are up 3-0 against the Dallas Mavericks after a huge win on the road. It is statistically impossible for any team to return from a deficit of this kind. However, we are aware that the Slovenian superstar is capable of the impossible.
With their season on the line in Game 4 at home, the Mavericks need all the luck on their side to beat this Warriors team with odds heavily in its favor to avoid a clean sweep. Although Luka Doncic is playing his best basketball right dropping 30+ each night, Dallas needs all its role players supporting him to the best of their capabilities.
Reggie Bullock and Maxi Kleber being scoreless in the final quarter coupled with Doncic’s second-half woes led to the Mavericks having their backs against the wall.
Andrew Wiggins took off from FT line to dunk on Luka Doncic
Fans rarely ever see Andrew Wiggins aggressive on/off the court. Watching him take off from the free-throw line to destroy Luka Doncic under the rim took everyone by surprise.
Initially, when the refs ruled it as an offensive foul NBA Twitter ridiculed the officiating. Steve Kerr decided to challenge the call and it was successfully overturned. It was possibly the best dunk in the postseason so far and calling it an offensive foul is not good for the spirit of the game.
Stephen Curry’s wife Ayesha was hyped after the poster alongside fellow Canadian Jamal Murray. The Warriors eliminate his Denver Nuggets in the first round but that didn’t stop him from supporting the Maple Jordan.
Andrew WUTTTT????

Wiggins’ former teammate on the Minnesota Timberwolves, Zach LaVine was watching as well. He was clearly as surprised by aggressive Andrew as everyone else.

Offensive foul or not… Dunk of the year!

Jamal Crowford went so far as to call it the dunk of the year whether or not it was an offensive foul on Luka Doncic. That dunk definitely triggered something in Wiggins and the attack mode stayed throughout the game.
He scored a playoff career-high 27 points in Game 3 to put the Golden State Warriors just a win away from reaching the NBA finals.
