Luka Doncic scored 23 points despite some shooting woes and the Dallas Mavericks finally found their touch in a 124-118 victory against the visiting Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night.

The Mavericks, who were coming off their only loss of the season, also got 18 points apiece from Grant Williams and Kyrie Irving, and 15 points and 14 rebounds from rookie Dereck Lively II.

LaMelo Ball's triple-double of 30 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds led the Hornets, who were trying to post victories in back-to-back games for the first time this season.
