To come back from being that far down in a game winning match speaks volumes to me about their grit and determination

[@GamerKahn]

Shaq was wrong. 😂

Now waiting for Denver to win and Jokić vs Dončić in finals

I see someone heard my request and this commentator is pretty much the only one to transmit the recap now

[@jamieharris8127]

Signing PJ Washington is suddenly looking like a genius move

[@MrMMAJER]

I guess they can't keep pushing the "Shai should have won MVP" narrative anymore

Slovenes, you are more careful there, because the Muscovite already openly writes that Donchich is a Slovenian, and if he is a Slovenian, then he is a Russian citizen.

What a game! What a comeback by the Mavericks. I wouldn’t bet against them making the finals with that kind of determination.

The real MVP Luka will win the championship. It's my feeling. I'm not so much into it the last couple years. Don't know who else is on the eastern side. But I'm optimistic :)

After Euroleague final i can easily say the world champion is Panathinakos

Para mí, anoche fue un partidazo en todo lo alto, los Mavs todo el partido por detrás en el marcador pero sin irse del partido excepto cuando los Thunders se van de 17 puntos pero los Mavs con un Donćic fantástico en el triple sobre todo, Irving ,Jones y Lively en rebote y machacando el aro , empiezan a remontar a final del tercer cuarto. El último cuarto siguen los Thunders por delante controlando por 8,10 puntos de ventaja , y a falta de 8 minutos sale Gilgeous que mete todo lo que tira y vuelve a escaparse por arriba de los 10 puntos ,aunque no contaban con un Donćic que revoluciona el partido pese al arbitraje en su contra bastante descarado, entonces llega ese momento en el que Dallas se pone arriba de 2 puntos a falta de 3' y medio; de aquí hasta el final fue superigualado, cuando Dallas lo tenía prácticamente ganado pitan un tiro libre por defensa ilegal , una canasta de 2 y un triple de Gilgeous, pero aparece Donćic y Washington a 2 ' ' del final lanzando un triple para ganar con falta de Gilgeous y 3 tiros, mete el primero ( empata) mete el segundo ( 1 arriba ) y el tercero lo tira a fallar ya que el entrenador se lo dice ,coge rebote Holdgren,pasa a Williams que tira desde mitad de su campo y no toca ni aro, Dallas se clasificaba para la final de Conferencia Oeste. Esta madrugada Denver- Minnesota, el que gane jugará la final con Dallas. Por el Este , 7mo partido New York-Indiana, el que gane jugará la final de Conferencia Este contra Boston.
