Kristaps Porzingis was trying to come up with the right words when he was asked to describe the between-the-legs pass Luka Doncic made that gave Maxi Kleber a wide-open, game-swaying dunk with barely a minute left in overtime Saturday night.
He had to be diplomatic.
“Unbelievable,” Porzingis said. “Not only the way the pass was, but also at the moment in the game to make that pass and have the, what’s a good word, courage to do it.”
Courage. Guts. Perhaps other body parts. That’s what it takes to try, and make, clutch plays like that one, which put the Mavericks up 132-128 with 1:08 to go.
