Doncic Scores a Triple Double to Help Mavs Win in Mexico

Luka Doncic showed that his Spanish is not the only flawless skill he brought to Mexico. Also, he brought his A-game with him as he earned a triple double to help Dallas win over Detroit in the first game of the NBA Mexico Games.

Doncic scored 41 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists. Also, it was his eighth triple-double of the season. Helping with the scoring was Seth Curry, who had a season-high 30 points. The final score was 122-111.

Pistons’ coach Dwane Casey told pay per head reviews and news sites that Doncic picked his team apart. Pistons were leading late in the first half by seven points. However, the Mavs went on a 14 to zero run before the halftime to take the lead. Since then, Dallas didn’t allow Detroit to get the edge back.

Triple Double from Doncic

Although Doncic did most of the carrying for the Mavericks, Curry helped with his 30 points off the bench. It is the first time since 2012 that a bench player scored at least 30 points for Dallas. The last Mavs player who did it was Jason Terry.

Playing zone defense against the Mavericks didn’t work. The Mavs milked their drive-and-kick plays with Curry getting most of the passes. Also, he made several good passes. Kristaps Porzingis scored 20 points for Dallas.

Rebounding played a massive role in the win as well. The Mavs outrebounded the Pistons 52-34. The leading scorers for Detriot are Andre massive with 23, Derrick Rose with 19, and Markieff Morris with 16. Blake Griffin only scored ten points for the game.

Doncic already matched his total triple-doubles from last season, according to a pay per head guide. There are still a lot of games to be played, and he might be an MVP candidate if he keeps up with this type of performance.
