Mavs Roll Bulls

Luka Doncic had 27 points, recording another triple-double but doing so without scoring 30 for the first time in seven games, and the Dallas Mavericks rolled over the Chicago Bulls 127-92 on Monday night.

 

Doncic finished with 14 assists and 12 rebounds but exited the blowout midway through the fourth quarter to end his NBA-record streak of 30-point triple-doubles at six.

 

Doncic set the tone as Dallas outscored Chicago by 28 in the first quarter. The Mavericks gave up a season-low in points while handing the Bulls their most lopsided loss.

 

Dereck Lively II scored 22, and Gafford finished with 20 points. The two were a combined 20 of 21, making them the first pair to score 20 or more points apiece while combining to shoot 95% or better since New York's Nate Robinson and Wilson Chandler at Memphis on Nov. 12, 2008.

 

The Mavericks were about 55% from the field.

 

Onuralp Bitim led Chicago with 17 points. DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic each scored 13, and the Bulls gave up 60 points in the paint in losing their second in a row.

 

The Bulls visit Indiana on Wednesday.
