The Dallas Mavericks were annihilated on the road against the New Orleans Pelicans, 131-110. Brandon Ingram finished with a team-high 25 points, leading a balanced effort. Kyrie Irving and Tim Hardaway scored 17 each in defeat for Dallas.
Dallas jumped out to an early lead, picking up right where they left off Sunday night. Unfortunately, the turnover bug bit the Mavericks (Herb Jones joining the starting group for New Orleans played a major part in that) and the Pelicans roared back in front. Luka Doncic played perhaps the worst quarter of his NBA career, shooting 1 for 6 and turning the ball over six times.
