The Dallas Mavericks star guard Luka Doncic scored 39 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists as his team rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit to beat the Houston Rockets 111-106 on Monday night. Kevin Porter Jr. had 25 points for the Rockets.

“I thought we did a good job on him the whole game,” Houston coach Stephen Silas said of the defense against Doncic, via ESPN. “The issue was the fouls. I don’t have enough money to get fined, so I will stop there.”
