LUKA RULED THE NIGHT: Who says Luka Doncic’s game doesn’t play well in Phoenix? In the Mavs’ two games in Phoenix as a rookie last season, Doncic combined to finish with just 23 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists. In the first and third quarters on Friday, he combined to score 30 points, snatch seven rebounds and hand out 10 assists. Overall, in another in a laundry list of outstanding performances, Doncic finished Friday’s game with a career-high tying 42 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists. It’s been like taking candy from a baby for the second-year point guard from Slovenia as coaches have rarely been able to devise a defensive scheme to slow him down.
