TORONTO –What a neat birthday Wednesday turned out to be for Luka Doncic.
The Dallas Mavericks’ five-time All-Star point guard turned 25 on Wednesday and wound up registering his 11th triple-double of the season in leading the Mavs to a 136-125 triumph over the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena. With the win, the Mavs (34-25) snapped their two-game losing streak heading into Friday’s road game against the Boston Celtics.
Doncic finished with 30 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists as the Mavs were able to bounce back after losing in heartbreaking fashion at the buzzer in Cleveland, 121-119, on Tuesday on a 59-footer by Max Strus.
