Dorian Finney-Smith performed admirably in the absences of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, tying his career high in points with 22. Sure, the Hawks don’t play much defense, but Finney-Smith doesn’t play much offense, so it evens out. With this awe-inspiring performance, Finney-Smith has definitely proved that “DFS” is more than just an initialism for his name. It also stands for the following:
-Delivering Finest Swishes (because he hit a bunch of three-pointers that were wetter and moneyer than a flooded bank vault)
-Doing Ferocious Slams (because he dunked it, even though it wasn’t very ferocious in actuality)
-Dunking Facially, Surprisingly (because he dunked it, even though the dunk wasn’t a facial or surprising at all)
-Drilling Final Shots (because he hit a three-pointer with three seconds left in the half)
-Displaying Freaky Stepbacks (because the aforementioned three-pointer was also a brutal stepback)
-Defense Foils Scoring (because he presumably played good defense and prevented the Hawks from scoring)
-DownToBuck Fully Supports (because DownToBuck is always happy to see DFS perform above expectations)
-Dallas Feels Snuggly (because the citizens of the Dallas metropolitan area are undoubtedly filled with a desire to snuggle with Finney-Smith right now [don’t lie, you want to snuggle with him, just admit it and nobody will judge you])
