Live on The Ringer NBA YouTube channel immediately following Luka Doncic’s nasty game-winner to put the Dallas Mavericks up 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals, The Ringer’s Justin Verrier and Tyler Parker attempt to catch their breath after an absolutely epic Game 2.

The guys discuss Luka’s heroics, why Rudy Gobert was still in the game despite constantly being hunted, as well as Dereck Lively’s massive impact and the specific improvements Anthony Edwards needs to make for the Timberwolves to have any semblance of hope the rest of the series.

They close things out by discussing the Pacers’ chances to win any more games in the Eastern Conference Finals and whether or not their opinion on Tyrese Haliburton’s greatness has changed during these playoffs.
