Luka Doncic is known for hitting ridiculous trick shots, and in the Dallas Mavericks' game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night, he made one that we haven't seen before.

In the third quarter, with the Mavs winning by more than 20 points, Doncic was being guarded closely by Jabari Smith. With the shot clock winding down, Doncic threw up an underhanded shot like he was playing a game of corn hole, and the mini prayer was answered.

Doncic was in the zone for the entire game, as he had 32 points, eight rebounds and five assists at half time alone. Through three quarters, he had 47 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

Heading into Sunday's game, the Mavs had won 10 of their last 11 games, and the Rockets had won 11 consecutive games themselves. Dallas is currently the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, but it will move up to No. 5 if the score vs. Houston holds at the end of the fourth quarter.
