Doncic and the Mavericks are experiencing growing pains

Doncic accepted responsibility for the defeat that placed the Mavs in danger of being swept in their first conference finals trip since the 2011 championship season. Doncic’s club is now 2-6 when he scores 40 or more points in a playoff game during his career. Doncic, who also collected 11 rebounds, three assists, and two blocks, stated, “I’m still learning. In the first two quarters, I performed poorly. That’s my fault. But I’m still learning. I believe that when this season is through, regardless of who we are, we will reflect and learn a great deal. This is my first NBA conference finals appearance. I’m a 23-year-old guy. I am still learning a great deal.”
