The Dallas Mavericks had won two straight games and three of their last four entering Wednesday’s contest. Superstar Luka Doncic dropped 26 against the Timberwolves to give him 11-straight with 25 or more points.

The Mavs homestand continued to Feb. 10 as the Atlanta Hawks visited Dallas. Atlanta won their last game but fell to Luka and company on Feb. 3. It was another battle between Trae Young and Doncic.

The Mavericks superstar had his seventh triple-double of the season as he kept his streak of 25-plus point games alive. Dallas completed a fourth-quarter comeback to grab their 12th win of the season. See Luka’s best plays from Feb. 10 here.
