No one was more amped after Luka Doncic’s spectacular performance Sunday night than girlfriend Anamaria Goltes. The lifestyle and fitness personality shared several Doncic-centric posts to her Instagram story, after the 6-foot-7 point guard put on a show against the Los Angeles Clippers, logging 43 points, 17 rebounds, and 13 assists, including a 3-pointer at …
