On a visit to San Antonio Spurs, the Mavs won 125-126, thanks in part to another excellent Luka Doncic. The Slovenian accounted for no less than 51 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals. For the third time in five games, he scored more than fifty points. A few days ago, the 23-year-old Slovenian had already put in a great performance against the New York Knicks. He then came to 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists. Never before in the NBA has a player achieved a ‘triple-double’ with so many points and rebounds. In his last five games, he has averaged 45.6 points.

Thanks to the 21st win of the season, the Mavs climb to fourth place in the Western Conference. For San Antonio Spurs it was already the 24th loss of the season and with that they do not get further than the penultimate place in the same conference.

Nets just keep raging

Team in form Brooklyn Nets went on to win 106-123 at the Spectrum Center against Charlotte Hornets. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant were good for 28 and 23 points respectively with the visitors. After a weak start to the season, they have now moved up to second place in the Eastern Conference. The Nets have 24 wins to their name, two fewer than the leading Boston Celtics.
