Luka Doncic had a night’s rest according to his high standards as a Dallas Mavericks posted 113 to 107 winners in their road meeting with the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center. It was a close contest where the Mavericks struggled to make an offensive impact by their high standards, but thanks to the fourth-quarter heroics of Kyrie Irving and Dante Exum, Dallas recorded its 40th win of the season.
The win was important for Dallas, given that their talisman Luka Doncic had a dismal shooting night as he only made 6 of his 27 field goals. Luka was saved for once by his teammates, but despite his horrible night, Luka provided a spectacular moment of genius.
The moment came in the first quarter when the Spurs made their bucket and Mavericks center Gafford passed the ball to Luka after possession was reset. Luka sent a full-court Alley-Oop flying over Alamo City to find his teammate under the basket, while DJJ rose to dunk and finished the move immaculately. Look here –
Even on his off night, Luka Doncic collected his 18th triple double of the season, the most he has ever achieved in a single. NBA season. The win moves the Mavericks to 11 games above .500 as they close the gap to the top 6 and improve their chances of avoiding play-in and sealing an automatic playoff berth. Next up for the Dallas Mavericks is the Utah Jazz on Thursday night.
