DALLAS — The Mavericks restored their victorious ways Saturday night, beating the New Orleans Pelicans, 127-117, to ease the sting of their seven-wins-streak-snapping blowout loss to the Boston Celtics two nights earlier.
The triumph also renewed debate: Just how legit is Dallas’ recent surge?
No debate about Luka Doncic’s dominance as he shook off a hobbled game Thursday night to tally 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 39 minutes for his ninth triple-double this season.
