The Mavericks They climb positions in the Western Conference and pass, with their victory, to which team they have won this last morning, the Nuggets. A second game in two consecutive nights for Mike Malone’s side, who had just beaten Portland at home and had to face a duel in Dallas a few hours later, was too steep a slope for the visitors here, who lost 111- 101. There was no time to recover Will Barton, so the rotation suffered once again and it was noticed in a last quarter in which the freshness of the locals did to win the game.
Doncic’s condition worries, despite having won. The Slovenian was injured already with the match controlled, in one of the last days, and retired before ending up with a sprained ankle he is being examined for to see if it doesn’t translate into a sprain. In a layup attempt by Austin Rivers, the Mavs went to block and the opponent fell just above Luka Doncic’s left ankle. There were only 45 seconds left to meet, so the bad leg is double or triple. The young European point guard came from a difficult night when it came to pitching but knowing how to delegate to others so that his side could win the victory, as it ended up being.
It was Porzingis the one who stepped forward for the Mavericks to go to the showers with one more in the green qualifying box. The Latvian was tested more as a center for more minutes than usual, in which he plays more openly. Kidd went to change roles the same day that last season’s best player arrived in town not in his position but in the entire League, Jokic, but Porzee defended himself gallantly. His 29 + 11 was not the 35 + 16 of his opponent, but it served to be the best of his team, with a shooting selection that did not damage productivity, and resolving as the leader.
