CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Luka Doncic appeared to have the offensive burst and verve Saturday night to match the fast-paced Charlotte Hornets in Spectrum Center.
The rest of his Mavericks teammates, however, didn’t provide the same punch.
Doncic finished with 37 points, four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes while shooting 13 of 20 from the floor and making a season-high 8 of 12 attempts from 3. But Dallas’ 129-108 loss turned into a blowout by the end of the third quarter because Charlotte’s 47.6% 3-point shooting and feisty penchant for hope-squashing runs befuddled the Mavericks’ tired defense.
