NBAWednesday, 07 February 2024 at 04:45
Luka Doncic had an unbelievable performance tonight and it’s clear why his nickname is “Luka Magic”. In this game, he led the Dallas Mavericks to a 119-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center.
Tonight was Kyrie Irving’s first game back in Brooklyn since being traded last February, and there were mixed emotions. Some fans booed while others cheered, but regardless Uncle Drew put on a show. The dynamic duo between Irving and Doncic has been exciting to watch, and this season it’s leading to victories. These 2 superstars can each takeover a game at any given moment, so when they are rolling this team is very hard to stop. After missing the playoffs last season, Dallas will try to make a deep push this year. There’s been rumors about trading for players to help with that goal, so these next few days will be interesting for all Mavs fans.
