Luka Doncic did it again. The slovenian superstar played an unbelievable game this Sunday when his
Dallas Mavericks visited the
Houston Rockets, in a clash of two of the hottest teams of the moment in the NBA.
In a remarkable fashion, Doncic's Mavs crushed the Houston Rockets 125-107. It was a night were everything worked perfectly for Dallas. On offense, there were some moments were the team shot the lights out of the building, draining the astonishing amount of 24 threes. Luka himself was pure fire, 9 of those Mavs' long distance shots came from Doncic's hot hands.
It was one of those nights for Doncic when he's in god mode, simply unguardable. Making the perfect reads, shooting from distance, attacking and killing every defender Houston throwed at him. Dillon Brooks had no answers for him, Jabari Smith Jr got put on the highlights reel too after Luka made a circus one handed shot. Everything was falling for one of the league's top MVP candidates. All his stepback-three-pointers were on target, just an amazing performance.
Luka looks like he's entering his absolute prime right now and his team is also stepping up and embracing the challenge. Every Maverick contributed also with great energy on the defensive side, including Doncic. All his 12 rebounds camed from the defensive glass, and on top of that he recorded two steals.
Dallas seems to be peaking at the perfect time. Now 5th in the Western Conference standings, now they know it's up to them to secure a direct playoff position. Just eight games left until the end of the season, how far could the Mavs extend their winning streak?
