Luka Doncic Leads the Mavericks to Victory with 10th Triple-Double of the Season

Crossed the halfway point of the season in the NBA the adjectives begin to run out for a Luka Doncic willing to compete in the battle for the MVP and take to the Mavericks to its highest levels. One night and another, the former Madrid player shows that he is one of the greatest talents in the League, overcoming tough defenses and even the hard blows he receives of his rivals.

I did it again in the victory of dallas in front of the Wizards (112-104) leading his team’s fifth straight win (the NBA’s current best streak) with his 10th triple-double of the season: 26 points (6/9 t2, 2/7 t3 y 8/11 tl), 11 rebounds and 15 assiststo which he added a steal and two blocks in 37 minutes.

The Slovenian prodigy, who on Monday was chosen player of the week in the Western Conferencewas key in the victory of his team, which began the last quarter with 10 points disadvantage (78-88) after having to retreat for five minutes after receiving a hard blow to the face from Corey Kispert .

Doncic He was taken to the locker room and I received several stitches on my chin.. But with his return the Mavs signed a partial 34-16 and they condemned the Wizards to his seventh consecutive defeat. Dallas lost 95-86 when Doncic came back and scored six points in a rowleading his team’s comeback (103-98 with 3:57 left).

With the stitches and the nose, Luka is spinning his face right now, but he’ll be fine. It’s not soft, that’s for sure.

Jason Kidd (Mavericks Coach)

The ex-Madridista, who already has 66 triple-doubles in his careerthe ninth in NBA history, seemed fine at the end of the game as confirmed Jason Kidd: “With the stitches and the nose, right now he’s spinning his face,” said the Mavericks coach, who reassured everyone about his minor concussion: “He’ll be fine. He’s not soft. That’s for sure.”

Irving and the surprising Gafford, Luka’s squires

Next to Doncic They stood out in the Mavericks Kyrie Irvingwith 26 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists (12-4 when he scores 25 or more points), and the surprising Daniel Gaffordwho arrived in Dallas last week precisely from the Wizards and showed no mercy towards his former team when signing 16 points and 17 rebounds (7 of them offensive).

I try to set up play picks for Doncic or just step aside in all honesty. You have to let him do his thing. There are many late passes that will come and many great passes that will return to you

Daniel Gafford (Mavericks Player)

The new player of the Mavs He is more than clear that his role on the team is to facilitate the task for Doncic: “I try to establish game selections so I just step aside in all honesty,” he said. “You have to let him do his thing. There are many late passes that will come and lots of great passes to return.”

Deni Avdija (25 points and 7 rebounds), Kyle Kuzma (23 points and 8 rebounds) and Tyus Jones (14 points and 16 assists) led the Wizardswhich are penultimate in the East (9-44). While Dallas is eighth in the West with a balance of 31-23.
