During the Lakers' game against the Spurs on Wednesday, Luka Dončić displayed his exceptional passing skills. He made a flashy full-court pass to Rui Hachimura near the basket, who attempted a layup but was fouled and missed the shot.
Dončić appeared frustrated, looking at Hachimura in disbelief and mimicking a scream before smiling at him.
Moments later, after being double-teamed along the baseline, Dončić delivered a no-look, one-arm pass directly to an open Hachimura, who then sank a crucial three-pointer. This shot compensated for his earlier missed layup.

Author’s summary: Luka Dončić showed both his passion and skill by reacting to a missed layup and quickly setting up Rui Hachimura for a game-changing three-pointer.
