The Dallas Mavericks are slowly emerging from the play-ins with 20 games remaining in the season. Coach Jason Kidd made crazy schemes and made tough turnover calls to get ahead of the Miami Heat. The execution was also on point for most of his players, but when things went wrong on broken plays, Luka Doncic stepped in to save them. His incredible game-making skills made him look like he was painting new settings a la Pablo Picasso while giving Jimmy Butler a headache.
The Mavericks star remained shifty and agile at all times on offense. This is why Luka Doncic became the first player in league history to record four consecutive triple-double games. Coach Jason Kidd was asked about how insane this run is and the Mavericks coach couldn’t help but to be impressedvia Bally Sports South West.
“Luka’s triple-double. I have always said this: “We cannot take this young man for granted. You see something as rare as Picasso when he comes every night to do something,’” he said.
Doncic sank 50% of his shots from the field to give the Mavericks 35 points. He also grabbed 11 defensive rebounds. The Heat hit it at times with defenders like Jimmy Butler, leading to four turnovers. However, that hasn’t stopped him from being an effective floor general for the Mavericks. Doncic still finished the match with 11 assists en route to a 114-108 score.
