Luka Doncic posted another historic performance coming from a sprained ankle in Game 3, with 43 points, 17 rebounds, 13 assists and the game-winner, as the Mavericks tied the series with their second victory.

Doncic talked to reporters after the game about his feelings on his yet-another big night and discussed his feelings on hitting the game-winner.

“I can’t explain the emotions I had,” Doncic said. “Not only when the ball goes in but when I see the whole team running toward me. That was something special, one of the best feelings I ever had as a player. Just something special.”

Doncic also gave credit to the Mavericks’ staff for providing for him in order to return to action strong.

“The guys you don’t hear about behind [the scenes] did an amazing job with me yesterday, we were working on it the whole day, they were helping me the whole time, whatever I needed,” Doncic added.

Coach Rick Carlisle was elated with the result and Doncic’s performance in his turn with the press as well.

“We know this kid has a flair for the dramatic,” he said. “He’s a performer as well as a great player. He lives for these moments and is completely fearless. He sees the game in 6G, not 5G. It’s another level beyond the way most people see it. Just a very, very special player. This game today was from another planet.”
