Doncic Leads Mavs Past Bulls

Luca Doncic scored 21 points in the third quarter and had his NBA-leading 11th triple-double of the season to lead the Dallas Mavericks past the Chicago Bulls 118-110 Monday night.

 

Doncic scored 17 of the Mavs' 19 points in the final 5:35 of the third to break open what had been a tie game. His 3 gave Dallas a 72-69 lead it would not relinquish. He finished with 38 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

 

Dwight Powell added 16 points for Dallas on 6-for-6 shooting from the floor and 4-for-4 from the line.

 

The Mavericks played without Kristaps Porzingis for the fourth straight game due to right knee soreness.

 

Lauri Markkanen led the Bulls with 26 points, starting the game despite spraining his left ankle Saturday night against Boston.

 

Chicago stayed close throughout the game, even after losing forward Wendell Carter Jr. to a right ankle sprain with 8:25 left in the third quarter. Chicago went on a quick 10-2 run after Carter's injury to tie the score at 69 before Doncic took over.

 

Tomas Satoransky had a career-high 14 assists.

 

The Bulls are in New Orleans to take on the Pelicans on Wednesday.
