— Luke Doncic trusted his teammates and together the Dallas Mavericks have advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
Doncic and Jalen Brunson each scored 24 points and the Mavericks beat the Jazz 98-96 on Thursday night in Game 6 to wrap up the first-round series. "Playing with Luka the past couple years, I should expect the ball when I'm not expecting it. The ball found me," Brunson said of his clutch 3-pointer. Spencer Dinwiddie added 19 points, and Dorian Finney-Smith had a playoff career high of 18 points as the Mavericks finally got the"monkey off their back," as Kidd put it."We have played a lot of games in the playoffs and still haven't got to the second round. But we feel like we can do something great this year, so we all expected to get this win," Finney-Smith said."I'm speechless," Mitchell said about failing to advance."It's on me.
"For guys like me, that's when I start smiling," Finney-Smith said about the ball movement to start the second half."That's when we get our spot-up shots. Luka causes so much pressure and then he finds guys."
