"This is one of those joyous nights where we escaped. We had Houdini. He got us out of here alive," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said after the game. The coach continued to talk about Doncic, and how the shot was a miracle one can pull off once in a blue moon. "Luka made one of the signature, special shots that you're going to see for a long time. Get the ball in his hands and he believes anything is possible".

For the Grizzlies, Grayson Allen scored 23 points. However, Allen ended up missing shots with 2.2 seconds left, giving Doncic the opportunity to make his game-winning three. "It came down to one great shot at the end by him," Memphis head coach Taylor Jenkins said.
