On the occasion of Luka Doncic’s 25th birthday, the Dallas Mavericks (34-25) celebrated with a remarkable performance, as Doncic notched a triple-double of 30 points, 16 assists, and 11 rebounds, alongside Kyrie Irving’s 29 points, leading them to a 136-125 victory over the Toronto Raptors (22-37) on Wednesday night.
The Slovenian superstar guided the Mavericks to a crucial win, marking his 11th triple-double of the season.
PJ Washington also played a significant role for Dallas as he scored 23 points and grabbed six rebounds, while Tim Hardaway Jr. added 16 points off the bench.
Despite facing a resilient Raptors team, Doncic and Irving’s combined efforts proved too much for Toronto to handle, with the Mavericks snapping a two-game losing streak.
The Raptors put up a valiant effort behind the performances of All-Star Scottie Barnes (19 points, 11 rebounds), Immanuel Quickley (28 points, 9 assists), and RJ Barrett (26 points), but ultimately fell short against the Mavericks’ offensive firepower.
