After missing six games, Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a 137-131 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, extending their win streak to four. Forward Naji Marshall, sidelined with an illness, praised Doncic’s performance with a three-word post on X:
“LUKA FIRST TEAMMMMMM.”
Doncic delivered a game-high 36 points, 13 assists, seven rebounds, and three steals, showcasing his All-Star form. Supported by Quentin Grimes (28 points, 5 steals) and Spencer Dinwiddie (20 points, 5 assists), the Mavericks improved to 13-8.
