Last night in the National Basketball Association (NBA) Davja Bertana represented Dallas “Mavericks” with 111:105 beat the Detroit Pistons for their second win in the last three games.
An unsuccessful match went to Bertan, who missed all three long shots in his limited playing time (seven minutes and 43 seconds). He also earned one personal note, but “Mavs” won with a Latvian on the court with +5.
Luka Doncic had his fifth career 50-point game and fourth of the season. The Slovenian had 53 points last night, including a shot with excellent accuracy (17/24 from the field), as well as eight rebounds and five assists. In the “Mavericks” ranks, only Spencer Dinwiddie scored 10 or more points – he had 12 points. Bojan Bogdanovic’s 29 points did not save “Pistons” from another loss.
Luka Dončić finished tonight’s game with 53 points (17-24 FG), setting a new franchise record for a regulation-length game.
Dončić now has 4 games this season with 50+ points, which leads the @NBA:
