After the Mavericks fell to the Celtics in Game 5 and the NBA Finals, Luka Doncic said he was proud of everyone involved in the team’s journey and that even though the team had only been together for a few months as it is now, they had found great success.
While there is disappointment that the team did not win, Luka expressed pride in every member of the organization for their journey. “I feel great. We made some great moves. I would say we’ve been together for five months. Obviously, we didn’t win the Finals. But we did have a hell of a season. And I’m proud of everyone,” Doncic said.
Doncic gave a very measured and calm response, especially after such a difficult loss. Luka and the Mavericks had a very difficult series against the Celtics, getting outmatched by the NBA champions in almost every game. While Game 4 gave them some hope, the Mavs just couldn’t keep up with the overwhelming dominance of the Celtics.Doncic, despite his struggles, performed well in the NBA Finals. Over 5 games, Doncic averaged 29.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists. The Mavericks were just not equipped to beat the Celtics in a seven-game series, as the Celtics just had too much star power on the court, with five former All-Stars in their squad.
The Mavericks will be looking to reset from here on out. They tinkered with their roster at the trade deadline, and it paid dividends, as they were able to reach the NBA Finals. Now, it is up to the Mavs to bolster their squad so they can adequately compete with the stacked Western Conference.
