Los Angeles (USA), December 12 (EFE).- With 38 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, Luka Doncic paved the way this Monday for the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder and recover after two painful losses (121-114 ).
The Slovenian was 13-of-27 from the field (including 3-of-10 from 3-point range) and was 9-of-10 from the line.
Doncic, one of the clear contenders for the MVP this season, was measured in a high-scoring duel against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, fantastic this season for the Thunder and who had 42 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists tonight.
With those 42 points, Gilgeous-Alexander matched his NBA scoring record.
Unlike other occasions, Doncic had solid support from his teammates this time around.
Thus, Spencer Dinwiddie also stayed close to the triple double (20 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists) and Tim Hardaway Jr. had 20 points and 6 rebounds.
The Mavericks were 22-of-54 on 3-pointers to Oklahoma City’s 10-of-31.
With this win, Dallas was put behind Friday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks (105-106) in a game that seemed to have control and that she lost in the final minutes due to her bad shooting from the personal line; and he also turned the page on the beating received on Saturday -without Doncic- against the Chicago Bulls who managed to score 31 points in the second quarter (144-115).
