The Mavericks lost to the Bulls again, this time by a score of 117-101. Luka Doncic obliterated the Bulls’ defense, but in the end it didn’t matter because he didn’t get enough help from the rest of the Mavericks’ roster. Doncic finished with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists. Lauri Markkanen led Bulls with 29 points. The Mavericks as whole shot poorly, and the defense was lacking, to say the least. Here are three important stats from the game:
6: Doncic’s 3-pointers.
Doncic finished the game 6-of-11 from deep. Unfortunately, all six came in the first half, and Doncic seemed to shy away from 3-pointers in the second half, only attempting two in the third and fourth quarters.
