‘I think you saw his intent,’ says coach Jason Kidd of Mavs star Luka Doncic, who dropped another triple-double despite playing with multiple injuries throughout the playoffs

Doncic, who has been playing with multiple injuries through the course of the playoffs, also had 10 rebounds and 11 assists. “It’s just our mentality,” Doncic said. “We know in the last game we played them at home, we let it go. It was our mistakes and they hit shots. In the playoffs, it’s the first to four. You have to win four before they do, so you have to go game by game.”

“I thought we were there tonight but maybe missed a couple of plays, missed a couple of shots. I was actually encouraged by the process tonight of improving during the series. I thought defensively we maybe took a step back, and credit them. They did a great job.” Asked what went wrong with the Thunder’s offense, Gilgeous-Alexander said, “Just being in the moment it was hard to tell, but I felt like we played the right way, got a lot of good looks, they just didn’t go in. That’s what it felt like.

Dallas pulled ahead 86-71 on a floater from Doncic with 10:11 remaining, then grabbed its biggest lead of the game to that point at 89-71 on a long three-pointer from Doncic with 9:31 left.
