MINNEAPOLIS — Luka Dončić drilled an electrifying three-pointer over Rudy Gobert with three seconds remaining Friday night at Target Center, and the Dallas Mavericks rallied from an 18-point deficit to shock the Minnesota Timberwolves, 109-108, in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.<br/><br/>With the victory, the Mavs were able to win both games to open this series on the road, and now hold a commanding 2-0 lead in this best-of-seven series. In the history of the NBA, teams that emerge victorious in the opening two games of a best-of-seven series go on to win that series 92.5 percent of the time.<br/><br/>The series now moves to Dallas for the next two games, where the Mavs can close it out and advance to the NBA Finals for the third time in franchise history. Game 3 is Sunday at 7 p.m. and Game 4 is Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.<br/><br/>With the Mavs trailing, 108-106, Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards turned the ball over with 12.8 seconds remaining to set the stage for the heroic moment by Dončić.<br/><br/>“Once we got Luka the ball we wanted to give him space and let him do what he does,” coach Jason Kidd said. “With him attacking the paint over and over, Rudy has to honor that.<br/><br/>“The play was to get Luka the ball and let Luka do what Luka does in those moments. We talked about taking the two, because we were only down two. But when he got to dancing with Gobert, you could see that the step-back (three-pointer) was coming and the rest was history.”<br/><br/>Dončić finished the game with his fourth triple-double in the last five games as he collected 32 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. On his game-winner, Dončić said:<br/><br/>“I just saw some space and decided to shoot a three. At some point we were down 18 on the road, which is insane to come back from.”<br/><br/>The Timberwolves had one last chance to pull out the victory, and they got the ball in the hands of the player who had the hottest hand for them on Friday. However, Naz Reid’s three-pointer at the buzzer was unsuccessful, and the Mavs were jumping for joy knowing that they’re just two wins away from reaching the NBA Finals.<br/><br/>Besides Dončić, the Mavs got 20 points and six assists from Kyrie Irving, 16 points, five rebounds and five blocks from Daniel Gafford,14 points and nine rebounds from Dereck Lively II, and 10 points and five boards from P.J. Washington.<br/><br/>Reid, who made 7-of-9 three-pointers, paced Minnesota with 23 points, and Edwards collected 21 points, five rebounds and seven assists. Also for the Timberwolves, Mike Conley finished with 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, Gobert had 16 points and 10 boards, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 15 points and seven rebounds.<br/><br/>Minnesota built as much as a 58-40 lead with less than four minutes left in the first half before the a pair of dunks by Lively, a hoop from Doncic and another basket by Josh Green to close the gap to 60-48 at halftime.<br/>
