With the Dallas Mavericks now trailing the Boston Celtics 3-0 in the NBA Finals, Luka Doncic once again took out his frustrations on the officials.
Doncic wasn't happy about leaving the game with 4:12 left, as Dallas fought back to erase a 21-point deficit.
“We couldn't play physically,” he told reporters after the game. “I don't want to say anything, but six fouls in the NBA Finals? I'm like this (raising his hands). Come on man. (Be) better than that.”
The Celtics led 91-70 early in the fourth quarter, before Dallas responded with a 22-2 run to pull within one point with three minutes to play.
But firing Doncic made it all right. Kyrie Irving scored 35 points but it wasn't enough to get the Mavericks over the line.
“We had a good chance,” said Doncic. “We were close. I didn't get it. I wish I was there.”
The Mavericks will now try to become the first team in NBA history to win the series after trailing 3-0.
Only four teams have forced a Game 7 in this position.
“It's not over until it's over,” said Doncic. “We have to believe.”
