Addressing the press post-game, Doncic delved into his defensive performance when questioned about the same. He attributed his success on the defensive end to his body shape:

I’m strong. People don’t think that, but I think I have some of the most powerful legs in the NBA. I love it. We said we were going to double [Karl-Anthony Towns], but I said, ‘don’t double’. Let’s see if I can get a couple stops. I like playing post.

When pressed further about the team’s improvement in defensive form, he remarked:

First, staying healthy. We’ve had a big problem with that this season. But we still hang in there. The last 10-15 games, we’ve been more active on defense. We’ve been playing better on defense. Everyone says, ‘your best offense is your defense'. We play good defense, we get rebounds, we can run the floor and I think we’re one of the best teams in the NBA to do that. You have to score more points than the other team.

With a three-game winning streak, the Mavericks currently hold the 7th position in the Western Conference standings. Their next challenge awaits on home court against the Memphis Grizzlies.
