Doncic sizzles as Mavs edge Wolves

LOS ANGELES, California — Luka Doncic drained the go-ahead three-pointer with 3.8 seconds remaining to lift Dallas to a 109-108 victory over Minnesota on Friday (Saturday in Manila) in another NBA Western Conference finals thriller.

Doncic delivered a triple-double of 32 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, and the Mavericks — who trailed by 18 in the second quarter — handed the Timberwolves a second straight home defeat for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
