Doncic Dominates, Flirts with Triple-Double
Luka Doncic led the way for the Mavericks with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists. He was nearly unstoppable in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 points and dishing out 4 assists. Doncic's performance was a reminder of why he is one of the most feared players in the NBA.
Wolves Struggle in Key Moments

Mavericks One Win Away from Western Finals
