Luka Doncic helps Dallas Mavericks to win over Minnesota Timberwolves

Doncic had just two points in the third quarter as the Mavs offense stagnated a bit. They scored 24 points, but it was not their best 12 minutes. Dallas held an 18-point advantage heading into the final period.

The Timberwolves came out red hot in the fourth as they cut the Mavericks lead under ten with five minutes remaining, but Luka was not going to let the game slip away. The 21-year-old had 14 points in the fourth quarter to lift Dallas to what turned into a too close for comfort victory.

Doncic finished with 26 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 36 minutes on Monday night. He struggled from the field, but got it done at the foul line. The Mavs gave up 45 points in the fourth quarter, but Luka propelled them to victory.

The Dallas Mavericks are back in action on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. It is a nationally televised game on ESPN. There will be plenty of talk about the draft night 2018 trade that sent Luka Doncic to Dallas.
