DALLAS -- A 137-120 home loss to the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night continued a disturbing trend for the Dallas Mavericks: Another monstrous triple-double line from Luka Doncic didn't matter because of dreadful defense.
Doncic had 39 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the loss, but the Mavericks were outscored by 18 points in their All-Star's 43 minutes. He joined Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook as the only players in NBA history to post 35-point triple-doubles in three consecutive games, according to ESPN Stats & Information research, but the Mavericks are 0-3 in that stretch.
