The Mavericks beat the Milwaukee Bucks with a score of 112: 102 (19:21, 34:38, 38:15, 21:28).
Porziņģis continues rehabilitation after meniscus surgery in the autumn and will not return to the square before January.
In the Mavericks, the playing time was divided similarly, with no basketball players playing for more than 17 minutes. Luka Dončičs and Maxi Kleber scored 13 points, who also added seven rebounds.
The team leaders played a bigger role. Jannis Adetokunbo scored 25 points and scored ten rebounds, Chris Middleton had 18 points and Bobby Portis had 14 points and 13 balls under the baskets.
Adetokunbo had a hard time on the waterlogged pitch – his trademark technique was nowhere in sight today.
“I came back to the locker room and the doctor checked my eye. I didn’t want to watch the rest of the match from two minutes after playing.
The two teams will play another test game in Milwaukee on Monday, but then the Mavericks will return to Dallas, where they will host Minnesota’s Timberwolves on Thursday.
The new season will start on December 22.
