Dončić uncorks huge first quarter as Mavericks ground Pelicans
No matter what ails the Mavericks, the New Orleans Pelicans usually are the cure.
The Mavericks got well on Wednesday with an elixir that was cooked up by Luka Don\u010di\u0107, who simply looked like he was tired of losing five of the last six games.
The Mavericks took charge early and hammered the Pelicans 139-107 at Smoothie King Center. To say it was a much-needed victory would be an understatement, given the last two weeks.
But this is the normal outcome when the Mavericks and Pelicans get together. Dallas has won eight of the last nine meetings. And they’ll get a chance to make it nine of 10 on Friday at American Airlines Center.
