The Dallas Mavericks were undefeated in the three games Luka Doncic played in since the All-Star break. They were hitting their groove on both ends of the floor and building for an exciting stretch run.
The Mavs continued their four-game road trip in Miami against the Heat on Friday night. The Heat won 23 of their 27 home games coming in. They had struggled a bit recently, but it is never easy to win in Miami.
The Heat played spoiler to Luka Doncic’s 21st birthday on Feb. 28. They led for most of the game before a Dallas comeback in the third quarter had them up by five heading into the fourth.
