The Mavericks superstar is keeping the faith heading into Game 5.
Doncic, who scored a game-high 29 points on 12-of-26 shooting in 33 minutes, remains confident that his team can battle all the way back from its current 3–1 series deficit. They did avoid the sweep Friday night, after all.
"It doesn't change anything," Doncic said of the Mavs' first win of the series. "Like I said in the beginning of the series, it's the first to four . We're going to believe until the end. We've just got to keep going. I have big belief in this team that we can do it. So we just have to keep believing."It's well known that no team in NBA history has ever come back to win a playoff series after facing a 3–0 deficit.
The Mavericks are one of 156 teams in NBA playoff history to face a 3–0 deficit. Only 15 of those 156 teams ended up winning two consecutive games to force a Game 6. Bringing a championship back to Dallas is Doncic's ultimate goal, but forcing a Game 6 will be his mission Monday night when the Mavericks head back to Boston for Game 5.Tom Dierberger is a writer and editor for the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
