At the final moment, it was the Eastern European combination that took over the game, and the Timberwolves were completely dumb, and the Mavericks went on a 14-1 offensive wave to close the game. On May 27, Beijing time, in the third game of the Western Conference finals, the Mavericks defeated the Timberwolves 116-107 at home, leading the series 3-0. No team in the history of the playoffs has been able to come back from 3-0 down, and like the Eastern Finals, the Western Finals have lost their suspense.

The Eastern European combination was too strong, and Doncic scored 33 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in this game, and made 5 of 11 three-pointers. He performed miracles, becoming only the second player in NBA playoff history to score at least 30 points, five rebounds, five assists, five steals and make at least five three-pointers in a single game, starting with Middleton (2021). Doncic has evolved again, and his defense has become so good that he has become a true all-around ace.

Irving scored 33 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, 12 of 20 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, he scored 14 points alone in the final quarter, and once again broke out in the final quarter, worthy of the king of the final quarter.

The Mavericks were in trouble in this game, with center Lively retiring after only nine minutes of play due to neck and head injuries. Before retiring, he made all 3 shots and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. Lively is an important interior rotation player for the Timberwolves, and without him, the team's interior rotation will be in trouble.

The Timberwolves chased down points in the second half and even overtook the Mavericks. However, the Eastern European duo is better at playing key shots than the Timberwolves' main players.

Irving came into the final quarter again, scoring on a breakaway layup, hitting a three-point shot, scoring on a step-back shot, and scoring on a foul free throw to score under the basket. In the final quarter of this game, he continued to attack, helping the Mavericks bite the score or pull away the score.

Irving is so ruthless in the final quarter, Irving's final quarter score this season has come to 114 points, surpassing Brunson's 111 points, ranking first in the final quarter of the playoffs, and becoming the out-and-out final quarter scoring champion. Doncic scored seven points in the final quarter of the game.

Among them, with 34.1 seconds left in the game time, Doncic broke through with the ball, and when his body was a little out of balance, he threw the ball with his left hand, and Gafford scored a dunk in the air, and also made Gobert foul, and hit the free throw, completing 2+1.

Doncic showed the way, and Gafford received 2+1 in the air to completely kill the game. Ginobili praised Doncic after the game: "Luka is unreal. Perfect slalom pass, when the other man was about to fall, and he passed it with his left hand. ”

The Eastern European duo combined to score 66 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. The Mavericks played 14-1 in the final minute to win the game. The Timberwolves' three All-Star-caliber players, Edwards, Towns and Gobert, all struggled in the final quarter. Edwards had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists on 11-of-24 shooting, with 5 turnovers and a plus/minus of -9. Downs shot 5-of-18 from the field and 0-of-8 from three-point range. Doncic and Irving combined for 21 points in the final quarter, while the Timberwolves only scored 20 points in the final quarter.

StatMuse listed the data of Doncic and Irving, and said: "Unstoppable. Former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy praised the Eastern European pairing: "They are the most talented backcourt combination in NBA history. ”

American media StatMuse posted cartoon photos of Doncic and Irving, and asked: "The best backcourt in NBA history?" "Obviously, it's too early to say that Eastern Europe is the best backfield in history, after all, the two have not won the title together. But the talent of the two is indeed historic.
