Dallas beat Minnesota with a go-ahead 3 with 3 seconds left.

Luka Doncic scored the go-ahead 3-pointer with Rudy Gobert guarding him at the top of the key with 3 seconds until the end of the regular time, having his 5th triple-double of the postseason to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 109-108 triumph at Target Center in Minneapolis, MN and a 2-0 lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the West Conference finals.

Luka finished with 32 points, 13 assists, and 10 boards for his 8th triple-double in 42 career playoff matches for Dallas, who erased an 18-point deficit in the 2nd quarter as the Mavs were still down 16 in the middle of the 3rd period.

Naz Reid finished 7 for 9 from the 3-point line for 23 points, but he missed his last shot as Minnesota will travel to Texas for Game 3 at the end of the weekend with a 2-game deficit after another disappointing match by stars Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Kyrie Irving notched 13 of his 20 points in the 4th quarter, including a corner 3-pointer 65 seconds before the end that made Mavs deficit only 2 points.

Mike Conley finished with 18 points and Rudy had 16 and 10 boards for Minnesota.
