Luka Doncic explodes the scorers in Atlanta: 73 points!!!

And a new card in the NBA, one! Four days after Joel Embiid against the Spurs, this time it is the work of Luka Doncic : 73 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists in 45 minutes, 25/33 shooting (including 8/13 3-pointers) and 15/16 free throws!!!

All in a painful victory for Mavericks on the floor of Hawks, at the end of a meeting rich in points and suspense (148-143). The Mavs who were nevertheless deprived of Kyrie Irving (thumb) and who remained on a series of three defeats in a row, but who found the means to win at Trae Young (30 points, 11 assists), Jalen Johnson (25 points), Bogdan Bogdanovic (24 points), Dejounte Murray (22 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds) and others.

Proof that Luka Doncic still loves to shine against the team that drafted him and then traded him in 2018, while any of the defendersAtlanta took the lesson by the Super star Slovenian Dallas, just unstoppable when she gets “in the zone” like that. Other franchises have been warned!

TO REMEMBER

Luka Doncic the “fantastic”. Career record, franchise record, record for a non-American, record for a player under 25, fourth-highest scoring performance in history, third-highest 70/10/5 game in history, best success percentage in a match with 70+ points… You will have understood it with this list of achievements: Luka Doncic was majestic to allow his Mavericks to return to victory in each half (41 points in the first, 32 in the second). Without forgetting at the end of the game, to finish off his opponents himself. Like a great (or an MVP).

Dallas breathes, Atlanta chokes. Certainly reinforced by Trae Young, returning from his concussion protocol, the Hawks were not able to end their series of three defeats in a row, unlike the Mavericks. In this match where the attacks were on fire and the defenses at bay, Quin Snyder's men did not go far, fighting until the end and coming back to one possession in the money-time. But the problem, and it was big, was Luka Doncic, who made his counterparts miserable, quickly running out of solutions for the evening.
