When Luka Donu010diu0107 is going like this, it really doesn’t matter much.
The point guard went crazy on Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets, running up massive numbers and leading the Mavericks to a 104-93 triumph that wasn’t really as close as the score might suggest. The win helped ease the pain of the 19-point whipping they took from the Hornets on Dec. 30 in Dallas.
The Mavericks had five players out because of health and safety protocols. And while they welcomed back Kristaps Porzingis for his first action of the 2020-21 season, it was Luka’s show as the Mavericks won their fourth consecutive game and pushed their Southwest Division-leading record to 6-4.
