The Dallas Mavericks have a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference finals after to a 109-108 Game 2 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, punctuated by Luka Doncic’s game-winning step-back 3-pointer over Rudy Gobert with three seconds left in the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves led by as many as 18 points before Dallas launched a massive second-half comeback.
In total, Doncic dropped 32 points, 13 assists and 10 assists. He was aided by Kyrie Irving’s 20 points, including 4-of-7 from 3-point range. The series now shifts to Dallas for Game 3, which is set for Sunday.
Minnesota seemed to run out of gas after halftime, with Anthony Edwards scoring just eight of his 21 points in the second half. Karl-Anthony Towns was a non-factor offensively, scoring 15 points on 4-for-16 shooting. He was benched down the stretch, partly because of his subpar play, but also because Naz Reid was scorching hot, going 7 for 9 from 3-point range en route to 23 points. He was unable to hit the biggest shot of the night, however, as his potential game-winning 3-pointer rimmed out as the buzzer sounded.
