The Slovenian Luka Doncic had another unforgettable night to give the victory to the Dallas Mavericks with a flaming end to the game and four consecutive triples to turn the score around in the final minutes. In total, he scored 49 points this Friday in the Texans’ victory against the Brooklyn Nets (125-120) and continued the great performance shown two days earlier against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Mavericks want revenge this year after being left out of the postseason last year and the start was brilliant with two victories and an intractable Doncic.
The Slovenian had achieved 33 points, twelve rebounds and ten assists in the victory against Frenchman Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs and this Friday He destroyed the Nets with 49 points, ten rebounds and seven assists.
LUKA MAGIC.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY.4 straight threes… each getting progressively more difficult and more clutch… to reach 49 points and give Dallas the win.

His numbers against the Nets were amazing. He connected on 16 of his 25 field goals (64%) and scored nine triples, four of them to reverse the score in the final moments. Brooklyn’s team led 115-110 with three minutes remaining. Until Doncic appeared.
Each of his four triples increased the difficulty. He closed the gap with the first two, to get 118-116, and with the third he managed to turn the score around. However, the best was yet to come: with the duel tied at 120, he took the ball and executed his shot from a very awkward position, with double team and with 28 seconds left and 1.6 on the shot clock. He burned the net.
The Mavericks’ second-best scorer was Tim Hardaway, with 19 points. In the Nets, who lost their second game of two, Cam Thomas scored thirty points.
