The Dallas Mavericks had won two straight as the Golden State Warriors came to town on Wednesday evening. The Mavs were looking to make it three against a banged-up team (all four of their All-Stars were out with injuries) playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
They could not have asked for a better performance. Luka Doncic led the way with a 35-point triple-double in 25 minutes of action as the Mavericks picked up a 142-94 victory on Nov. 20. It ran their record to nine wins in their first 14 games.
