Speaking after the game, Doncic emphasized the importance of clinching one more victory to seal the deal and propel the Mavericks to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2011.
“They try to double me, and they try to double Kai, and everybody touched the ball, and that just makes it better. We need one more – nothing is done. We just said, ‘One more,’” Doncic remarked during the NBA on TNT post-match interview.
