Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Dallas Mavericks face their second straight closeout Game 6, as they found themselves in this spot in the first round against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Dallas stole Game 5 in Oklahoma City Thunder to take a commanding 3-2 series lead on the No. 1-seeded Thunder, but we've already seen the Minnesota Timberwolves force a Game 7 against the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference.
Can OKC do the same on Saturday?
