Luka Doncic Dominates in Dallas Win Over Phoenix
DALLAS - The Dallas Mavericks (19-22) defeated the Phoenix Suns (10-33 ) 104 - 94 Wednesday night.
Rookie sensation Luka Doncic had yet another impressive stat line: 30-points, six-rebounds and five assists. He also played extended minutes with the Mavericks’ second unit.
While both Dallas and Phoenix were without two stars - Dennis Smith Jr and Devin Booker respectively, fans were wowed by the hustle and assertiveness of Doncic with both the first and second units. Phoenix rookie DeAndre Ayton struggled the entire game, only scoring six points and pulling down five rebounds.
The Mavericks had a very balanced team performance Wednesday, with four additional players scoring in double digits.
While Phoenix rests at the bottom of the Western Conference, Dallas is only 3.5 games behind the Lakers for the eighth spot. The team plays Minnesota Friday and then the Golden State Warriors on Sunday.
