The Dallas Mavericks improved to 5-1 on Sunday night after a come-from-behind win against the Charlotte Hornets, winning 124-118. Luka Doncic led a balanced Dallas effort with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. LaMelo Ball poured in 30 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 13 assists.
The Mavericks looked to right the wrongs of their recent first-quarter woes against Charlotte only to run into the same challenges defensively. Doncic left at 4:45 in the quarter and went to the locker room with Mark Followill noting something with his thigh (he later returned to the bench).
