Rudy Gobert and Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a crucial victory in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, where he hit the game-winning three-pointer with 3.1 seconds remaining to seal a 109-108 win. The shot gave the Mavericks a commanding 2-0 series lead and showcased Doncic’s clutch gene.

After the game, Doncic joined the Inside the NBA crew and confidently stated that he could move faster than Rudy Gobert, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Doncic’s trash talk was directed at Gobert, whom he outmaneuvered at the top of the key to create space and nail the winning shot.

I mean, he’s long enough. He can’t move, I can’t move fast… but I can move faster than him. Like I said, just get to my spot.
Luka Doncic said on Inside the NBA

Doncic’s performance was spectacular, as he finished with a game-high 32 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds. The tension between Doncic and Gobert was palpable throughout the game, especially after Gobert appeared to hit Doncic in the stomach early on. This added layer of personal rivalry made Doncic’s game-winner even more satisfying for the Mavericks and their fans.

Doncic’s clutch performance capped off an 18-point comeback by the Mavericks, who trailed by as many as 18 points earlier in the game. The win gave the Mavericks a commanding 2-0 series lead, with Game 3 set for Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are struggling to find consistency, having lost two games in a row after leading at halftime. Despite a team-high 23 points from Naz Reid, Minnesota’s offense stalled in the second half, allowing the Mavericks to mount a comeback. The Timberwolves will need to regroup quickly if they hope to get back in the series, with Doncic and the Mavericks just two wins away from reaching the NBA Finals.
