Doncic’s new show with 35 points and a triple-double, another win for the Mavericks

Luka Doncic just picked up where he left off against the Knicks a few days ago. He didn’t “write” a 60-point triple-double this time, but he didn’t have to, either, as the Slovenian put on another show, hitting another triple-double and leading the Mavericks to a 129-114 victory over the Rockets.

Doncic was unbeaten – once again – and finished the game with 35 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in 34 minutes of action, taking Dallas’ hand that even reached +25 and cleaning up the game from the third period onwards.

Christian Wood with 21 points and Dwight Powell with 19 followed Doncic in performance, with Tim Hardaway adding 18 points (but 5/14 shooting).

With the Rockets, Jaylen Green had 23 points and Kevin Porter had 17 points (but 4/12 shooting).
