Luka Doncic has put on a SHOW in the first 8+ minutes and Herb Jones hasnโt been able to deter him at all. Luka is 6-7 from the field (a rim out away from 7-7) for 14 points and is going to the line.
Pelicans trail 27-14 with 3:24 left in the 1st quarter. โ 8:27 PM

Luka Doncic wasnโt too spry after that defensive play in the corner. But heโs off to a masterful start with seven points and three assists as Mavericks bolt out to a 20-10 advantage. โ 8:21 PM
