Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic help Mavs hold off Thunder again for 2-1 lead in West semis

Luka Doncic already had a balky right knee and an achy left ankle when he fell hard on his back while battling his primary defender, Lu Dort, for a loose ball. Not only did Doncic win the ensuing jump ball, the NBA scoring champion tracked down the loose ball that followed with his Dallas Mavericks clinging to a late lead. "Everything," Doncic said when asked what hurt, a few minutes after walking gingerly to the locker room with Dallas having beaten Oklahoma City 105-101 on Saturday to secure a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals. Kyrie Irving scored 22 points, including a running left-hander in the lane in the final minute to help the Mavs hold on.
