LOS ANGELES — Dallas star Luka Doncic was still absorbing the bitter blow of NBA Finals defeat, but one big lesson from the Mavericks 4-1 loss to the Boston Celtics was already clear.

'We've got to fight next season,' the 25-year-old Slovenian said, adding that the example of the Celtics themselves — back in the winner's circle after falling in the finals in 2022 then missing out on the title series last year — was one to note.
