Kidd knows Doncic has gone through a “crash course” on what it means to be on a big stage

Over the past two years, Luka Doncic has found himself in three win-or-go-home situations. And he’s 0-3 in those situations.

Two years ago against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks trailed that best-of-seven series, 3-2. Then they lost the series-clinching game, 111-97.

Last year in the opening round of the playoffs – again against the Clippers – the Mavs found themselves in another win-or-go-home situation. This time it was a Game 7, which the Mavs lost, 126-111.

Also last summer, Doncic represented his home country of Slovenia in the do-or-die Bronze medal game in the Olympics against Australia.
