Mavericks: Luka Doncic narrowly misses triple-double in win over Pistons

The Dallas Mavericks found their offense to defeat the Detroit Pistons 127-117 on Wednesday night. Luka Doncic led the way as the team looked unstoppable in their first win since Luka hit the buzzer-beater in Memphis. The Mavs scored 30-plus in each of the first three quarters to break their two-game skid.

Doncic played the starring role, but it was a team effort in topping the Pistons. The Mavericks had six players in double-figures. Jalen Brunson dropped 20 on eight of 12 shooting, including a 13-point second quarter to push Dallas in front. Kristaps Porzingis fouled out late but had 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Tim Hardaway Jr. chipped in 15 points of his own in the win.

It was Luka that stole the show, though. The 22-year-old narrowly missed a triple-double as he lifted the Mavs to victory. Here is a closer look at his performance.
