5 TAKEAWAYS FROM THE 118-97 WIN OVER PELICANS
LUKA DOMINATES AGAIN: On the same day he was named by the NBA as the Western Conference Player of the Month for his superb work in the months of October and November, Luka Doncic went out and showed why he deserved this prestigious award. In just 28 workmanlike minutes, Doncic scored 33 points, handed out five assists and pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds in the Mavs’ victory over the Pelicans. Doncic was in such a zone – OK, when isn’t he in a zone? – that he collected 15 points and 10 rebounds in the third quarter.
