The Mavs may seem like they had an easy time with the Wolves, but their star duo had to make history to take down the Wolves in the series clincher, 124-103.

“Love him so much,” another fan tweeted.
“The audience at home could understand that Slovenian,” another tweet read.
Doncic was on fire during the game, making 14 of his 22 shot attempts while grabbing 10 boards, dishing five assists, and picking the ball twice. It was a fantastic all-around effort that understandably got him the WCF MVP award.

Now that everyone knows who will be facing in the NBA Finals, people are now asking whether the Mavs have what it takes to win against the Boston Celtics.
The C’s made quick work of the Pacers and didn’t allow them to win a single game in their duel. While Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are the biggest threats on Boston’s roster, they have quality contributors in Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford.
However, Luka Doncic has been anything but easy this offseason. He’s averaging 28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 8.8 assists in the 17 games he’s played this season. As long as he continues to dominate on the court, it’s easy to see the Mavs making a serious run for a second championship banner.
