SAN FRANCISCO -- Luka Doncic's initial reaction to the end of the longest playoff run of his young NBA career was to express disappointment in himself.
"I don't like losing, especially like this," Doncic said after the Dallas Mavericks were eliminated Thursday night with a 120-110 Game 5 loss to the Golden State Warriors. "I played terrible."
Doncic finished his final game of the season with 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists, but it was a performance that fell far short of his high standards, especially in potential elimination games.
