The Dallas Mavericks' leader took responsibility for the loss in the second game of the NBA Finals
Dallas Mavericks' leader Luka Dončić took responsibility for the loss in the second game of the NBA Finals series against the Boston Celtics (98-105).
"The game plan didn't work because we lost. Ultimately, we need to make more shots and score more points.
I believe my turnovers and missed free throws cost us the victory. Therefore, I must improve significantly in these areas. In the end, we have to execute our shots," Dončić told Fadeaway World.
Dallas lost to Boston in the second game with a score of 98-105, making the series score 0-2.
Despite the setback in the second game, Dončić etched his name in Dallas history by recording the team's first-ever triple-double in an NBA Finals game.
The Slovenian star amassed 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists in 42 minutes on the court. Overall, this marks Dončić's tenth career triple-double in the NBA playoffs.
