Stats & Highlights | The Mavericks stop the Raptors, the Bulls at the end of the suspense
February 29, 2024
We don't know what Darko Rajakovic promised his players in the event of a 4th victory in a row, but the Mavericks ended their longest winning streak of the season.
The fault is Luka Doncic who celebrates his 25th birthday with a superb triple-double. After a balanced half, Dallas made the difference after returning from the locker room. The key ? Lost bullets. After losing 11 in the first half, Kyrie Irving's teammates only lost two in the 3rd quarter to make the break and take a 14-point lead. Author of 11 points and 6 assists in the 3rd quarter alone, Luka Doncic allowed the Mavericks to finally win 136-125 in Toronto.
Lots of points also between the Bulls and the Cavaliers, but this time, we were entitled to two overtimes. Winners the day before against the Mavericks on a miraculous shot from Max Strus, Donovan Mitchell's teammates lost this time 132-123. The fault of an ultra-clutch DeMar DeRozan, author of 11 of his 35 points in the 2nd overtime!
Ideal for making amends for his missed winning shot at the end of the fourth quarter. It was he who scored 5 points in 25 seconds to snatch the second overtime, while the Cavaliers led by 4 points. Then it was he who scored an 8-0 in the 2nd overtime to snatch the decision.
Finally, the Wolves took a while to get going against the Grizzlies. Trailing by 14 points in the first quarter, then another 11 points in the 3rd quarter, Chris Finch's players relied on the talent of Anthony Edwards. Well recovered from his sprained ankle, the All-Star guard scored 17 of his 34 points in this 3rd quarter to allow his team to take control. In money time, Jaren Jackson Jr. will have the opportunity to bring Memphis back to one possession, but his 3-point airball is converted into a dunk by Anthony Edwards, and the Wolves win 110-101.
