Dončić stomps on the gas, Mavericks race to historic win over Pelicans

Luka Donu010diu0107 clearly was fed up.

Losing five times in the last six games put him in a foul mood Wednesday night, and the New Orleans Pelicans were the recipients of his ire.

The Mavericks took charge early and hammered the Pelicans 139-107 at Smoothie King Center on a historic shooting night for a team that had been struggling to put the ball in the basket for the past several games.

But with Donu010diu0107 revving his own motor, then jump-starting everybody else, the Mavericks blew open a big early lead and took the drama out of this game before halftime.
