Luka Doncic displayed his brilliance, contributing 35 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists, leading the Dallas Mavericks to an impressive 125-110 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Doncic’s remarkable triple-double performance, combined with Derrick Jones Jr.’s 22 points and Tim Hardaway Jr.’s 21 points, solidified the Mavericks’ undefeated 3-0 start to the season. Doncic’s scoring prowess was evident as he shot 11 of 22 from the field, including 6 of 12 from beyond the arc.
Despite the formidable efforts of Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr., who each scored 30 points for the Grizzlies, Memphis struggled to secure their first win of the season.
Marcus Smart added 23 points before fouling out, contributing to the Grizzlies’ 0-4 start, their worst since 2004.
Memphis faced challenges with injuries to their frontline players and the 25-game suspension of Ja Morant, last season’s leading scorer.
On the other side, Mavericks’ starting guard Kyrie Irving was a late scratch due to a left foot sprain, but Derrick Jones Jr. stepped up with a strong performance, scoring 22 points.
