Dallas Mavericks win again with Luka Doncic’s exhibition
It’s not news that Luka Doncic will shine, but it is news that the Dallas Mavericks will use the inspiration of a great star to win. The Texans defeated the Miami Heat 114-108, ending their losing streak at three games. Luka Doncic recorded his 15th triple-double of the season (35 points, 11 assists, 11 rebounds) and also made a 3-pointer late in the game, which was really the key to the team’s victory.
“It’s great, especially when it comes with winning.”
Thanks to this performance, Doncic tied Russell Westbrook’s NBA record for a triple-double of at least 30 points in five consecutive games and the first time he has added at least 35 points.
Most of his points came from beyond the arc, with 7/13 triples signed by the Slovenian being his main source of points, some of which tipped the balance in favor of the local team. .
Terry Rozier, the visiting team’s best with 27 points and 11 assists, counterattacked with a triple to bring Miami within two points, and Derek Lively II scored off an offensive rebound to score Kyrie Irving (23 points), leading to the Mavericks’ three-point lead. Achieved consecutive triples. It turned a 100-101 in favor of the Heat into a comfortable advantage for the Mavs. Irving once again became Luka Doncic’s pompous valet, proving time and time again that the bond between the two is unbreakable.
It wasn’t an easy win for the Mavs. The Heat, who arrived in Dallas having won seven of their past eight games, were on a roll, leading by 15 points in the first quarter. But even though the scoring was very spread out (as many as six Florida players added at least 13 points), the Heat finally got the heat against the injured Mavs looking to make up for past mistakes. I decided to lower it.
Exum scored 13 points in just 17 minutes off the bench, while Daniel Gafford hit a perfect 5-of-12 shooting and played a key role in the local reaction. Even Tim Hardaway Jr. could see that moment of clarity contributed to his 11 points. From the bench.
None of them had any connection to Luka Doncic, except Luka Doncic, whom Jason Kidd wanted to compare with the Spanish painter. “We’re looking for something as rare as Picasso.”

Jokic may lose his chance to compete for NBA MVP award
Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to left knee hyperextension.
The Serb is expected to miss all 18 matches in January and his maximum appearances this season could be limited to 64 matches. So Jokic will lose the opportunity to compete for the NBA’s main prizes – MVP and inclusion in the All-NBA, as this requires playing at least 65 games in the regular season.
Theoretically, he could return for the January 31 game against the Brooklyn Nets, which would give Nikola the opportunity to play 65 games before the end of the season, but that scenario is unlikely.
Jokic was injured in the last seconds of the first half of the match against Miami Heat (123:147) and did not return to the field after a long break. Before his injury, he managed to score 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.
