    Luka Doncic could not be stopped on Monday night as he led the Dallas Mavericks to a 102-77 win over the Utah Jazz in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series at American Airlines Center. 

    This type of performance is nothing new for Doncic, who finished with 33 points, 13 rebounds and five assists on 11-of-22 shooting from the floor and 3-of-10 shooting from deep. However, it was quite the night for someone playing just his second postseason game coming back from a calf strain.

    The Slovenian was all anyone could talk about on Monday night as Dallas took a 3-2 series lead.

    Luka Doncic is cocky as hell, but man that dude is so freakin good. He is un-freakin-real.<br><br>And this small ball the Mavs are playing has been sneaky fantastic since they traded Porzingis.

    The Mavericks will look to eliminate the Jazz in Game 6 on Thursday and move on to the second round for the first time since 2011 when Dirk Nowitzki helped the team win the NBA title.
