The Dallas Mavericks are one win away from getting back to the NBA Finals.
Luka Doncic has been on a tear since the start of the series, and he’s made sure to make a statement every single time he’s gotten a chance to do so.
That was on full display again in Game 3.
He stripped the basketball out of Rudy Gobert’s hands for a steal, and then just looked at the Minnesota Timberwolves’ bench (via Bleacher Report).

Luka is fired up, and he’s one of the biggest trash-talkers in today’s game.
He made sure to let Gobert know that he couldn’t guard him after knocking down a game-winning shot over him in Game 2, and his unwavering confidence gives him the aura of a champion.
The Timberwolves did plenty of trash-talking of their own.
Anthony Edwards called out Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving on his way here, and he waved the crowd goodbye after taking down Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets.
The tables always turn quickly in the National Basketball Association, and it’s now up to them to take the punches and just be good sports about it.
The Mavericks still need to finish the job, and their potential opponent in the NBA Finals isn’t going to be easy.
Still, when your best player is playing with this kind of confidence, you have to like your chances against anybody.
