The Mavericks closed with a win in Phoenix (112-120) a great month of November with nine wins in 14 games. Within the good collective tone, Luka Doncic once again led the operations with 42 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds in 38 minutes against Ricky Rubio. A formidable climax to the impressive Slovenian base month, which averaged 31.7 points, 10.4 rebounds and 10.4 assists, figures so far only reached by Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook.

"I still don't focus on individual performances but on winning games," said Doncic, spurred on pride by Wednesday's "frustrating" defeat to the Clippers. In these 14 November games he led his team in scoring and assists, including five triple-doubles.

That domain, with only 20 years, in all facets of the game overshadowed the good performance of Rubio, author of 21 points and nine assists. The poor success of Doncic (3/11) in the triples was compensated by the inspiration of Tim Hardaway Jr., author of 26 points with 6/9 in pitches of three.

A great start

The 12 victories in the first 18 days represent the best start of the Mavericks since the 2010-2011 season, when they conquered the only ring in the franchise's history.
