Found this MMB breaking down the effort or lack there of by Luka defensively. Seems like he just doesn't care to play any defense anymore

And speaking of Doncic, that leads us to the second issue. Effort. Watch Doncic on that play. He doesn?t really do...anything. He doesn?t step up to impede Curry?s path, but he doesn?t stick close to Kuminga, either. Kuminga is shooting 36 percent from deep this season, which is pretty good. But you?d rather him be the one with the ball in his hands, late in the shot clock, with the chance to seal the game, than one of the twenty best players in NBA history.
Doncic doesn?t have to be a great defender for the Mavericks. He carries an incredible load on offense, after all. But he can?t give such low effort in a crucial play of a huge game.
