"Kobe Bryant and Shaq; Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie!": The Dallas Mavericks duo become the first two since the Lakers tandem to score 30 each in a game 7

Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 30 each, becoming the first two teammates since Kobe Bryant and Shaq to do so in a Game 7.

The praises keep rolling in and so do the comparisons. This time Luka Doncic, and Spencer Dinwiddie did something only Kobe and Shaq did before.

The Dallas Mavericks duo put up 35 and 30 respectively. The last time two teammates put up 30 each in a playoff game seven? 2002. Who were the scorers? Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal, of course.

The Mavericks’ blowout win was unexpected. Not by a long shot did anyone actually expect the Mavericks to win by 33 points. The no.1 seed Phoenix Suns failed to put up a fight.

Spencer Dinwiddie finally shows his mettle and Luka Doncic is loving it!

Spencer Dinwiddie went off, he scored a brilliant 30 points off the bench and it was about time that Luka Doncic got some help.

Both players combined to score 48 in the first half, while the whole Phoenix Suns team had 27 in total!

The Dallas Mavericks will hope their players continue firing like they did today. They face the Golden State Warriors in the Conference Finals. Game 1 kicks off on Wednesday night and we are sure to see one enticing matchup!
