NEW ORLEANS — Gas up the private plane and prep the Cleveland hotel suite.In the Mavericks final outing before the NBA’s All-Star break, Doncic led the Mavericks’ 125-118 win Thursday night against the Pelicans with 49 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 38 minutes.
Surging at an MVP-level over the last month, Doncic appeared in prime form to dazzle again Sunday night alongside the game’s other greats. New Orleans entered the game out of playoff — and even play-in tournament — standing. Dallas played without six of their 16 players, including starter Reggie Bullock because of day-to-day injuries.Doncic had no problem staying engaged.
Early in the game, the Pelicans’ frontcourt tandem of Jaxson Hayes and Jonas Valanciunas caused problems for the Mavericks down low. New Orleans grabbed six offensive rebounds in the first five minutes of the game and finished with a 25-11 advantage in second-chance points. “Sometimes it’s different when you play away games,” Doncic said. “First they’re booing, and then they’re, like, amazed.
