Mavericks – Celtics live online: stats, scores and highlights | NBA Finals Game 5

Luka’s locked in 

If you look at the numbers, Luka Doncic has been the best player in the floor in this series. In his first NBA Finals he is averaging 29.5 points, 8 rebound and 5.8 assists. While his assists have gone down a bit, it’s hard to point the finger at the Slovenian who has created open looks for his teammates, but the rest of the cast outside of Luka and Kyrie have struggled mightily from the field. In Game 4, the role players played their part, on both side of the ball. What is going to be the difference maker again tonight for the Mavs is the way they come out and defend. If the Dallas duo come out and set the tone on the defensive side, and everyone follows suit, the Mavs might have a chance to send this series back to Texas for another game.
