|May 28, 2024
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for 66 points and Dallas surged home in a 116-107 victory over the Minnesota Timber-wolves on Sunday that gave the Mavericks a 3-0 stranglehold on their NBA Western Conference final.
-
The latest thriller in the series, this time in Dallas, came after the Mavs won Games One and Two in Minneapolis by a total of four points.
In a fourth quarter that saw the teams trade the lead seven times, the star Mavs duo spearheaded a closing 12-3 scoring run.
The Mavericks will have their first chance to clinch the series when they host Game Four on Tuesday.
No team has rallied from 3-0 down to win an NBA playoff series, but Doncic said Dallas cannot get complacent.
"We need one more," he said.
"They have an amazing team, so nothing's done." Doncic and Irving each finished with 33 points, Doncic adding seven rebounds and five assists and Irving producing 14 of his points in the fourth quarter.
P.J. Washington scored 16 points, draining a three-pointer that put Dallas up for good, 107-104, with 3:38 to play.
