PORTLAND, Ore. – Luka was back Sunday night. And a few ebbs and flows aside, not much changed.
The Mavericks continued to find a way to win.
Luka Donu010diu0107 returned from a five-game absence and let the Portland Trail Blazers know that he’s still pretty good at this basketball thing. The superstar point guard rolled up 36 points and 13 assists and the Mavericks fended off a strong challenge down the stretch to douse the Blazers 137-131 at Moda Center to complete a quick sweep of back-to-back games on this trip.
Luka, Quentin Grimes and Spencer Dinwiddie made the critical plays down the stretch as the Mavericks improved to 13-8.
