Luka Doncic
scored
38 points
, grabbed
nine rebounds
, gave up
13 assists
and stole four balls in the
Dallas Mavericks'
victory over the
Denver Nuggets
(117-124).
It was his best game.
The night started somewhat wrong but with the passage of minutes he began to find his game and although he still has
a problem from the three-point line
(2 of 7) and losing more possessions than usual (eight against the Colorado franchise) his productivity in attack is far from doubt.
His offensive talent was vital to overcome the spectacular night of
Nikola Jokic
, Serbian center of the Nuggets who joined the European confrontation between two of the great
MVP candidates
.
Jokic also had
38 points
, with eleven rebounds and four assists, but lost the overall of the night in an excellent final stretch of Doncic.
The Slovenian greeted his former Real Madrid teammate
Facundo Campazzo
, with whom he lifted the Endesa League, the King's Cup and the Euroleague, and who did not play a minute against Doncic.
The Argentine still does not have a clear role in the franchise, a few days ago he scored 15 points in 25 minutes and this past morning, against some Mavericks that have taller exteriors, he did not enter the track.
At the end of the match, there came a moment that the Madrid fans will surely celebrate, because beyond the embrace between two of those who were their stars recently, Doncic had to go through the 'TNT' microphones to chat with
Shaquille O'Neal
, commentator for the 'Inside NBA' program.
The one who was NBA MVP asked the Slovenian which basketball he had noticed more during his learning, the American or the European, and Luka was clear: "A little of everything, I saw
LeBron
but I have also had great companions in Spain, like
Sergio Llull, Rudy Fernández or Felipe Reyes
. The Spanish were great companions and I learned a lot from them.
Spanoulis
would also say
, I don't know if you know him but he plays for
Olympiacos
. I would say that parts of each player ", he replied, and he once again recorded his 'love' for Real Madrid: "I was there for seven years so it
's my team, in basketball and soccer
."
