Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a 3-2 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder with a triple-double performance in Game 5.

Doncic's triple-double, achieved despite a knee injury, ties him with LeBron James for second-most 30-point triple-doubles by an under-25 player in NBA playoff history.

The Mavericks' recent roster enhancements include acquisitions of Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington, Daniel Gafford, the drafting of Dereck Lively II, and the signing of Derrick Jones Jr.

Doncic expresses optimism about the Mavericks' potential and looks forward to being eligible for a supermax extension with the team in 2025.

Commentator Stephen A. Smith anticipates a Mavericks victory in Game 6, commending Doncic's performance and the team's defensive strengths, while noting the Thunder's inexperience could be a disadvantage.
