Minnesota led by 5 with 1:29 left, but a Kyrie Irving 3 cut the lead to 2 with 1:05 left.
Rudy Gobert switched onto Doncic, Doncic rocked it back and forth, stepped back, drained the shot, and then proceeded to trash-talk Gobert walking back to his bench. He said after the game onthat he was a little surprised that they switched Gobert onto him. It was the only shot Doncic hit in the fourth quarter.
Dallas would get the stop on the other end, forcing a missed deep three by Naz Reid, and steal another win on the road.
