Mexico City — Pistons coach Dwane Casey predicted that defending the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Doncic — who is having an MVP-caliber season in his second year in the NBA — would be a team effort.
It was an all-hands-on-deck approach in teaming up to guard Doncic, with not just one player taking on the defensive responsibility.
The Pistons needed more hands
Doncic was spectacular, bolstering his MVP campaign with a triple-double: 41 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, including 34 of his points through three quarters.
