Luka Doncic was on the floor, and nobody questioned who would get the opportunity to shoot or find the open man.

"The play was to get Luka the ball, and let Luka do what Luka does in those moments," Mavs coach Jason Kidd said.

"We talked about taking a twowe were down only two - but when he got to dancing with (Rudy) Gobert, you could see that the stepback (three) was coming. And the rest was history."

Doncic knocked down the goahead three-pointer with 3.8 seconds left and Dallas held on for a 109-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.

The Slovenian guard registered a triple-double with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. Kyrie Irving finished with 20 points and Daniel Gafford scored 16.
