Luka Doncic played hero for the Dallas Mavericks as he hit a stepback three-pointer over Rudy Gobert to lift them over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Day 34 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.

The 2024 NBA MVP finalist asked for a switch in the game’s last possession against the 2024 NBA DPOY and then buried the three right on his face to give the Mavs a 1-point lead with three seconds left.

The Wolves had a last crack with Anthony Edwards drawing two defenders to him. He passed it to Naz Reid who missed a good look to end the game.

Dallas has now won both road games and now leads 2-0 over the Wolves as the series shifts to Dallas this time for Game 3.
