Last night was a wild ride in the NBA! 🚀 Luka Doncic dropped a stellar 29 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a 119-110 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
\"I think that was one of the hardest games I've had to play,\" Doncic admitted. \"I'm battling out there trying to do my best to help the team win.\"
The Thunder tried to keep Luka in check, holding him to just 19 points in the first game. But this time, he came back stronger, hitting 11 of his 21 shots. The crowd? Well, they weren't too happy with him, booing and chanting, but Luka didn't mind. 😏
\"That's great for me,\" he said with a grin. \"I love it.\"
Respecting the Thunder's effort, Doncic added, \"They have great players, great chemistry, great team. And it's going to be tough. It's going to be a fight till the end. So, just much respect to Oklahoma City, but it's big time we won this game.\"
But Luka wasn't the only Maverick on fire! 🔥 P.J. Washington stepped up big time, scoring 29 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, knocking down 7 of his 11 shots from beyond the arc. Coach Jason Kidd was impressed: \"I thought P.J. set the tone. We played through him a little bit in the post and I think that sparked him. He was big for us tonight.\"
The Mavericks are definitely heating up, and we can't wait to see what's next! 🏀✨
