For the second time in under a week, All-Star guard and perennial NBA MVP candidate Luka Doncic was simply too much for the Rockets to handle as the host Mavericks won convincingly on Thursday, 129-114 (box score). Dallas (20-16) has now won five straight games, while Houston (10-25) has dropped seven of eight.
Coming off his historic 60-point triple-double earlier this week, Doncic put up 35 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds in 34 minutes. He made 11-of-21 shots (52.4%) and 4-of-9 on 3-pointers (44.4%).
