The Dallas Mavericks staged an impressive comeback to secure a thrilling 109-108 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
Luka Doncic led the way for the Mavericks with a triple-double tallying 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 assists, hitting the winning three-pointer over Rudy Gobert. Kyrie Irving chipped in with 20 points, while centers Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively combined for 30 points on 14-of-16 shooting.
Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns struggled with their shooting, whileNaz Reid, who scored 23 points off the bench, missed the potential game-winning shot.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the Mavs winning Game 2.

not even the biggest Rudy Gobert believer would let him switch onto Luka one on one with the game on the line. that’s something you only wish on your worst enemies. why did the Wolves let that happen to that man

WHAT? NOW BARKLEY'S GIVING ANTHONY EDWARDS THE "TIRED" EXCUSE??? PATHETIC. HE'S 22-YEARS-OLD AND EVERYBODY SAYS HE'S THE NEXT JORDAN AND FACE OF THE LEAGUE. IMAGINE THE REAL JORDAN "GETTING TIRED" IN A HOME GAME 2 OF THE CONFERENCE FINALS.

I've given it thought. I don't think this series is over. There is no way Anthony Edwards can play this bad the entire series. If he's even average it's 2-0 Wolves

Luka Doncic is a winning player. I accept being an idiot.
Also, regardless of Finals, he takes Best In The World Title with this series for the summer.

Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are shooting a combined 30.4% in the West Finals. 21 makes. 69 attempts. Not gonna win with your two best offensive players putting up these stinkers.

Dudes forget Luka Doncic was killing grown ass men as a teenager in the second best league in the world.
