After the game, Doncic was asked a personal question (h/t Spectrum SportsNet).

Reporter: "Can you reflect a little bit on the last year of your life? Making the Finals, changing teams, growing your family, just kind of where do you view things for you right now?"

Doncic: "It's all good. I'm happy. That's all that matters. I have a little daughter. My family's good, the people around me are good, so that's everything I want."
