Dallas Mavericks: Kristaps Porzingis drops 38 in win over Pacers

Highlights

Kristaps Porzingis had it going from the opening tip on Feb. 3. The 7’3 Unicorn started at center, but Carlisle opted for Maxi Kleber over the small ball lineup he featured in recent games. They had to match up against Sabonis and Myles Turner for the Pacers.

KP started off his and the Mavericks scoring with a dunk less than two minutes into the contest. Fans can relive the moment below.

Porzingis also had his 3-point shot dialed in all game. He nailed three in the first quarter. KP finished with six 3-pointers made on 13 attempts. See one of his makes below.

It was another impressive performance by The Unicorn. He had 11, eight, and 15 points in each of the first three quarters. Porzingis made all 12 of his free throw attempts to push him to 38 points for the game. Here is a look at his full highlight reel below.

Porzingis also made an impact on the glass. His 12 rebounds were tied for a game-high. The Pacers starting their massive frontcourt could have caused major issues on the boards, but KP stepped up to keep them in check.

The Unicorn has been outstanding in his two games he has played with Luka Doncic out. The Mavericks are going to need him to keep up that production during his absence.
