The Dallas Mavericks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in Dallas by a score of 108-92. Luka Doncic scored 25 point to lead Dallas, while Jonas Valanciunas and Josh Hart scored 22 each to lead the Pelicans in defeat.
Dallas came into this matchup as something of a homestand hero, winning four of their first five games in the AAC. Against a beleaguered Pels squad missing both Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, Dallas got the job done once again, as expected.
It wasn’t always the convincing win the final score may lead you to believe. Dallas was actually trailing after the opening frame, giving anyone unhappy with Dallas’ play so far this year plenty to grumble about.
