Luke Doncic can’t really be a rookie, can he?
The Dallas forward assembled a triple-double of 19 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in pushing the Mavericks to a 99-93 victory over the Charlotte Hornets at American Airlines Center. Doncic’s performance was enough to overcome a third-straight game of 30 or more points from Hornets All-Star guard Kemba Walker.
Walker finished with 30 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, but his pass out of the corner with 47 seconds left went out of bounds, signaling the last realistic hope for a Hornets team that fell to 26-28.
