Luka Doncic Leads Mavs to Historic Win
Mavs Overcome Slow Start to Defeat Hawks
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic shook off a rare scoreless first quarter to finish with 25 points, leading his team to a wild historic victory against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. The Mavs overcame a slow start to defeat the Hawks in a game that will go down in franchise history.
Late-Game Heroics
With the game tied at 115-115 with just over a minute remaining, Doncic drove to the basket and drew a foul. He calmly sank both free throws to give the Mavs a two-point lead. The Hawks had a chance to tie the game in the final seconds, but Trae Young's three-point attempt rimmed out.
Doncic's Dominance
Despite his slow start, Doncic was unstoppable in the second half, scoring 18 points to lead the Mavs' comeback. He also contributed 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals.
Team Effort
While Doncic was the star of the game, the Mavs' victory was a true team effort. Jalen Brunson added 22 points, while Dorian Finney-Smith chipped in 18.
Historic Night for Mavs
The Mavs' win was their sixth straight, the longest winning streak by the franchise since 2011. It also marked the first time the Mavs had overcome a 15-point deficit at halftime to win a game since 2006.
Looking Ahead
The Mavs will look to extend their winning streak when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Doncic will once again be the key for the Mavs as they try to continue their climb up the Western Conference standings.
