Ball – New ‘triple-double’ against the Rockets: Looking for someone to stop Doncic (NBA)

After the historic performance on the twenty-seventh of this month in the Dallas Mavericks victory over the New York Knicks (126-121, after overtime), where he scored a “triple triple” with an amazing 60 points, 21 rebounds. And ten assists for his teammates Luka Doncic, the 23-year-old Slovenian, continued on Thursday night (already early Friday in mainland Portugal) to show surreal form, repeating the feat of reaching double figures in these three seasons of the game once again. Texans victory, this time against the Houston Rockets, by 129-114.

Doncic scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists against the Rockets, in a comfortable victory, in which he “took his foot” in the last quarter of an NBA game, a period in which the “Mavs” had already left 20 points. With advantage … The Slovenian scored 30 points and is already in “double figures” in terms of rebounds conceded and assists.

With its superstar and serious candidate for MVP (Most Valuable Player) at an extraordinary time, the Dallas Mavericks are still 5th in the Western Conference, now with 20 wins and 16 losses in the regular season (‘Regular Searon’) and will only return to play in 2023: On Sunday, January 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, whose head coach Gregg Popovich humorously told reporters that the team’s goal “would be to get Doncic to score fewer than 50 points.”
