Game 56 Dirkie Thread: Luka by a long neck.

[SleepingHero]

Going to post a lot of post-game quotes/tweets that I liked:

Grant Afseth (@GrantAfseth)
P.J. Washington on if he remembers ever winning four straight NBA games: "I was just telling somebody in the locker room, I think this is the longest win streak I've ever had in my career. So I'm just happy to be here."

P.J. Washington on if tonight's win over the Suns felt like playoff basketball: "I don't know. I have never been to the playoffs. ... I guess [it did]."

Did it feel like play-in basketball?: "It felt a little better than play-in basketball."


Landon Thomas (@sixfivelando)
I asked P.J. Washington Jr. what he wants to sustain from this win streak going on the road.

“Our defense has to be there every night...”


Tim MacMahon (@espn_macmahon)
Mavs newcomer Daniel Gafford on Luka Doncic: “To me, he's the MVP. ... Seeing the things he does and Kyrie does, I'm just amazed. It's like I'm a kid of the candy store because I'm seeing two great players just go out and dominate.”


All Things Mavs (@All_Things_Mavs)
The LuKai duo just combined for…

70 points
14 rebounds
14 assists
4 steals
25/45 field goals
11/19 threes
9/9 free throws

and one huge win over the Phoenix Suns

Dereck Lively II checked on Luka Doncic at least three times throughout the timeout after Doncic was hit in the face. Easy to see why Lively is often praised as a great teammate.
