Luka Doncic Led the Dallas Mavericks to Victory
A crazy circle shot by Irving, attempting to lob a ball to Dereck Lively II, wound up banking in the basket instead. The Mavericks were dominating the game.
Halftime came and went with Dallas leading 78-47, so they eased off. Even though the second half was closer, the Mavs still beat Portland by scoring 29 points.
Lively and guard Grant Williams suffered ankle sprains throughout the game, which restricted the Mavs’ rotation. However, the Blazers’ defensive deficiencies proved to be their downfall.
In their ongoing struggle to adapt to life without Damian Lillard, the 9-24 Blazers saw 15 points from Simons and 16 points from Shaedon Sharpe, who came off the bench. Meanwhile, Dallas boosted their record to 20-15 and secured the seventh spot in the Western Conference with a victory. Friday night will see a rematch between the two squads.
Although the Mavericks’ offensive performance was noteworthy, it was overshadowed by other teams’ record-setting performances on Wednesday’s historic night in the NBA. Five teams scored 140 points or more in a single game for the first time in league history.
