Dallas Mavericks vs. Atlanta Hawks storyline to follow: Luka vs. Trae 2

The Mavs double teamed and put a ton of pressure on Trae Young in the first meeting, but he got hot in the fourth quarter. The All-Star guard nearly led the Hawks to victory, but Luka Doncic would not let that be the case. The Mavericks star had 27 points and 14 assists in the win.
