LThe lights of Madison Square Garden, perhaps the most famous court in the world of basketball, once again illuminated a Luka Doncic that a new recital was recorded on his private account to launch the Dallas Mavericks and get your third consecutive win by beating the New York Knicks by 86-99 in a match marked by the defenses.
The Slovenian Mavericks star again shone with his own light and flirted one more match with the triple-double when he finished with 26 points (11 of 23 from the field and three of eight from the triple), eight rebounds and seven assists in a game the Mavericks dominated from the second quarter.
The former Real Madrid player was one of five players in the Texas franchise to end up with double digits in scoring, followed by Jalen Brunson (15) and a Kristaps Porzingis who was once again the center of the wrath of the 1,918 Madison fans and that the clash ended with 14 points and eight rebounds in his locker.
The Knicks held the first set and never lost face to the game thanks to the good work of Alec Burks, who finished with 20 points, and of Julius Randle, who finished with 14 points to his credit. New Yorkers added their third consecutive loss and they remain seventh in playoff contention in the East.
The Mavericks did not have the direction of their coach Rick Carlisle. The technician tested positive for coronavirus in a test carried out hours before and remained at the hotel, giving the witness to Jamahl Mosley. Carlisle, who addressed the media virtually before the crash, confessed that he has already been vaccinated and has no symptoms.
