Dončić makes loud statement in home-opening blowout of Memphis

Luka Donu010diu0107 probably would never say it. But by every indication Saturday night, he was determined to make a statement.

After Memphis’ MVP candidate Ja Morant poured in 49 points Friday in a win at Houston, it was Luka’s turn to go ballistic on Saturday.

In a home opener that had so many electric elements, Donu010diu0107 responded with an epic night. He scored or assisted on the Mavericks’ first 20 points as they built a 14-point lead and never looked back to hand the Grizzlies their first loss of the season, 137-96 at American Airlines Center.
