On Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks earned a blowout victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, 126-97. 

In the win, Luka Doncic led the Mavs with 41 points, six rebounds, and five assists on 13-of-21 shooting from the field, 4-of-7 from 3-point range, and 11-of-14 from the free throw line. In his second game back from injury, Kyrie Irving scored 29 points and grabbed nine rebounds.

But, it wasn't just during the game where Doncic put on a show.

Prior to the game in warmups, Doncic threw down a one-handed dunk off the glass to hype up the crowd before tip-off.

We certainly discuss Doncic being a candidate for MVP, All-Star starter, and All-NBA First Team but is it time to throw his name in the ring for the dunk contest?

Not quite yet, but we're not against seeing Doncic throwing down this kind of dunk off the glass in a game.

Check out the tomahawk slam below.
