The Mavericks clinched the Western Conference title with a display of sheer dominance, eliminating the Minnesota Timberwolves with a 124-103 rout in Game 5.
Doncic earned Western Conference finals MVP with a standout performance, scoring 36 points, seizing control from the start, and outscoring the Timberwolves singlehandedly in the first quarter.
Kyrie Irving also played a significant role in the victory, scoring 36 points, with 15 coming in the second quarter, contributing to the Mavericks' success.
Doncic and Irving became one of the only duos in NBA history to have four games with at least 30 points each during a single postseason, a feat achieved by only the Lakers' Baylor and West.
