Doncic lifts Mavericks, Pistons finish trip with 1-2 record

Dallas — The Pistons got their first in-person look at Dallas Mavericks rookie phenom Luka Doncic — and he lived up to the billing and hype he’s gotten all season.

Doncic flirted with a triple-double, with 32 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, pushing the Mavericks to a 106-101 victory over the Pistons on Friday night at American Airlines Center.

The Pistons finished their three-game road trip with just one win — on Wednesday over the Pelicans — and don’t play again until Tuesday, when they host the Milwaukee Bucks at Little Caesars Arena.

Blake Griffin finished with 35 points, seven rebounds and four assists and Andre Drummond, in his first game back after missing the last three, added 23 points and 15 rebounds for the Pistons (21-27).
