Luka Dončić Stuns NBA Fans with Clutch Game-Winner as Mavs Beat Edwards, Wolves in G2

Dončić finished with a 32-point, 13-assist, 10-rebound triple-double to lead Dallas, which trailed by as many as 18. He now has four triple-doubles over his last five playoff games.

Minnesota led 108-103 before Mavs guard Kyrie Irving's corner three slashed the deficit to two with 1:05 left. The teams then traded empty possessions before Minnesota superstar Anthony Edwards committed a turnover, giving Dallas the ball back with 13 seconds left.

Dončić got the ball and a key switch, leading to Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert guarding him on the perimeter. The MVP finalist then nailed a stepback three for the one-point edge.

Minnesota still had a chance with three seconds left and the ball in Dallas' half of the court, but Naz Reid's three was no good.

Irving overcame a slow start to score 13 points in the fourth quarter (including four three-pointers) for 20 overall. Mavs big men Daniel Gafford (16 points, five blocks) and Dereck Lively II (14 points, nine rebounds) controlled the paint.

Reid was the Timberwolves' best player on this night, scoring a team-high 23 points off the bench and hitting 7-of-9 three-pointers. Edwards added 21 points and seven assists but shot just 5-of-17.

But the story here was Dončić, who's been inevitable all playoffs and especially in this series. He dropped 33 points, eight assists and six rebounds in Game 1 before his 32-point triple-double, and now the Mavericks now hold a 2-0 edge in the best-of-seven Western Conference Finals, which head back to Dallas for Games 3 and 4.

Until then, NBA players, analysts and fans alike were in awe of Dončić's performance, including his cold-blooded game-winner:

Game 3 will take place on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET.
