For many, it was a surreal sight; for Mavericks fans, it was nothing short of heartbreaking.<\/p><p>It was a highly-anticipated game and Doncic didn&rsquo;t downplay the matchup either. After the game, the 25-year-old admitted he was &ldquo;hyped&rdquo; and in some moments, didn&rsquo;t know &ldquo;what he was doing.&rdquo;<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;This was so weird, some moments felt like I don&rsquo;t know what what I was doing.

His first, and only 3-pointer of the game, followed by a fierce stare at the Mavs bench, left no doubt about his intent.<\/p><p>When asked about how he felt scoring against his former team, the 5-time All-Star admitted it was hard to put into words. <em>&ldquo;As I said, I can&rsquo;t remember,&rdquo;<\/em> he said. <em>&ldquo;It was just a lot of emotions, and I can&rsquo;t even explain. It was a different game.
