Luka Doncic scored 30 of his season-high 44 points in the first half, and the Dallas Mavericks rebounded from a collapse a night earlier by beating the Orlando Magic 114-105 on Sunday night.
Rookie Paolo Banchero was held to 18 points for the Magic, the first time this season the No. 1 pick in the draft has failed to reach 20. His six-game streak was tied for the third-longest to begin a career.
"It’s a bounce-back game. It’s early on in the season, but we just have to make sure we’re ready, Mavericks guard Josh Green said. "There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be 6-0. For us, this is a learning curve, and I’m just happy we bounced back." "You could tell he was going to be ready to go," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. "He came out and set the tone.""We fouled a lot down the stretch, but at the same time, we stuck to the game plan, which was to make Luka grind for all of his buckets," said Wendell Carter Jr., who had 15 points and nine rebounds.
