The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Atlanta Hawks 103-94. This game was infuriating to watch as the Mavericks got the short end of the officiating stick. Luka Doncic appeared to be on his way to a dominating game but was limited due to foul trouble. The Mavericks somehow managed to find enough offense despite Luka, Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke all having 5 fouls before the end of the third quarter.
The Mavericks used their newfound defensive abilities and an incredible amount of grit to overcome this adversity. The Mavericks frustrated Trae Young and pulled out one of the most impressive wins of the season.
