Luka surrendered the ball and sat in the corner during that critical juncture until Luka's final quick 5 pts.
I don't think you can ding Doncic for deferring to JB in the 4th. It appears that the Mavs are working hard to diversify, and Luka buying into that shouldn't be presented as a negative. It could very well be Coach that called JB's number in the 4th and Coach's plan for Luka to let others do their thing for stretches for the good of the team down the road.
