The Slovenian could not avoid the defeat of Dallas by 125-127 in the visit of the Warriors to Texas
The European point guard signed a remarkable 30 points and 17 assists after missing 5 games
The Slovenian Luka Doncic returned this Wednesday after missing five games due to a muscular problem and signed a double double of 30 points and 17 assists, but the Dallas Mavericks (125-127) they fell at home against the Golden State Warriors and dropped to ninth in the West.
Doncic had not competed since March 9, when he withdrew from the lost game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a thigh muscle problem. He returned this Wednesday with a great level, in a night in which the Texans could not count on Kyrie Irving, but his Mavericks lost the fifth game of their last seven.
After breaking their eleven-game losing streak away from home against the Rockets, the Warriors achieved an important victory with a great ensemble performance in Dallas. Jonathan Kuminga was the best with 22 points, accompanied by Steph Curry’s 20 in a group of six players over ten points.
There was no shortage of refereeing controversies, with the Mavericks regretting a mistake in the third period that ended with three points from the Warriors, ultimately decisive for victory.
The current champions are sixth (38-36), in ‘playoff’ positions, while the Mavericks are ninth (36-37), and would need two rounds of ‘play-in’ to access the ‘playoffs’.
