Doncic goes out through the big door against the Bulls

Luka Doncic is getting into shape. The Mavericks point guard came out with a bang after leading the beating of the Bulls (119-99) with 27 points and 13 assists, some of which were fantasy. In the last two games he has accumulated 61 points and has shown his most passing vision, as he also has 28 basket passes.

Against Chicago, he took advantage of his rival’s lack of intensity and his disastrous defensive balance to supply his teammates, who were eager to complete counterattacks after his passes from field to field. The point guard was accompanied by Kyrie Irving, who scored 17 points. Inside, Daniel Gafford, one of Doncic’s main cronies, also scored 17.

He did well filling in for the absent Dereck Lively II, who is suffering from a sprained shoulder. PJ Washington also did not play, with a sprained knee. The Bulls were missing Zach LaVine, their leading scorer, and they missed him. Nikola Vucevic had one of his usual double-doubles (14 points and 10 rebounds), but his defense left a lot to be desired. In the last quarter, with everything decided, he did not play.

The Mavericks enjoyed two devastating sets. The first quarter they made a 17-0 lead that gave them a 22-9 lead and paved the way to victory. They arrived with a 56-45 lead at halftime and when the restart started with a 13-0 lead that ended the match. The margin between the two teams reached 30 points and Jason Kidd was able to give breaks. Doncic was on the court the longest and played 32 minutes.
