Lively was the difference maker. Came back on with 2 mins to go and the Mavs went on a 9-2 run. His defensive effort was critical in the win tonight.

His vertical scoring ability as a lob threat completely changes the dynamic of the Mavs offense. Stopping Luka and Lively going downhill is going to be a challenge for the league with Luka’s elite playmaking and scoring ability

So happy for Lively. His career at Duke started off rough, and many of us Duke fans did not understand the hype.

But his positive attitude never faded, and as the year wore on, he did things we'd never seen on the Defensive side and was always good for 4-5 clean up dunks per game.

Reportedly an amazing person too
