Best part of Luka’s 50h triple double. Was it the FT shooting (9-11 tonight. 35-40 in his last 3. 77% for the season) or the 11:2 Asst/TO ratio (2.57 for the season)? Two huge areas of improvement for him this year. – 12:06 AM

A very rare stress free night for the Mavs. Drove the ball from the start (Season hi 64 Paint points), were judicious in their 3pt shooting (32 vs DEN 55 vs HOU). A season hi 59.7% FG. Took a wounded opponent behind the woodshed holding them to 42% and <100 pts. Can’t ask for moe – 11:56 PM

“Every possession it’s the Luka show.”
Doncic dominated en route to his 50th triple-double of his career. Despite Bruce Brown’s best efforts, the undermanned #Nuggets couldn’t do anything to stop him.

Mavs lead the star-less Nuggets 29-27 after Q1, and Luka Doncic is already on triple-double pace: 5 points (2-8 FG), 5 rebounds, 4 assists and one reluctant smile after Slovenian pal Vlatko Cancar hit a 3 at the quarter buzzer for Denver. – 9:05 PM

So far Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, Zeke Nnaji, Vlatko Cancar, Christian Braun and Bones Hyland have all tried their hand at guarding Luka Doncic, and we’ve played one quarter. Doncic just 2-of-8 so far but with 4 assists and 5 rebounds. Overall, not terrible. Mavs up 29-27 after 1. – 9:04 PM

Luka Doncic just air-balled a 3-pointer, Christian Wood grabbed it under the hoop, drew a foul on the putback, and Luka immediately turned toward the scorer’s table and made his case for that actually being a pass.
Always one step ahead, that kid. – 9:01 PM

Great recognition by Luka early in this game. He fed Christian Wood for the second of two dunks, then understood the big man was filled with confidence. Luka passed up a point-blank shot and got a wide-open 3-pointer for Wood, which he made. Mavs tied with Denver at 18. – 8:55 PM

Mentioned this last night, but the Mavericks are currently ranked 15th in offense and 4th in defense on CTG. They’ve surrounded Luka with a bunch of defenders and it’s worked reasonably well.
