Alone but still burdened, Luka Doncic has the fourth 50-point match this season
There have been concerns about Luka Doncic's injury when he just missed a game 2 days ago. But after today, all doubts disappeared when the Slovenian superstar exploded in an unbelievable way.
Doncic proved to the NBA that his ankle was fine, scoring 53 points into the Detroit Pistons' basket to help the Dallas Mavericks complete a comeback at home.
Not only reaching the 50-point mark, Luka Doncic was also the owner of the 3-point result that sealed the victory for Dallas, engulfing the surprising effort of the visitors from Detroit.
This is Luka Doncic's fourth 50-point match this season, fifth if you include his career. This shows that Doncic is in full bloom, and also shows that Luka is very lonely at the Dallas Mavericks.
If counting the first half alone, Doncic scored 18 of Dallas' first 20 points. He closed the first half with 24 points, the highest number in the NBA in the first half of the whole season this year.

That's how the Slovenian superstar shines, but Dallas is still 4 points ahead of the Detroit Pistons after two innings and 11 points in the third. As soon as Doncic goes out to rest, the Mavericks attack almost stops.
It wasn't until the last round that Luka got some help. The one to shine was Spencer Dinwiddie, the owner of a series of valuable points when Doncic took advantage of a few minutes of rest at the beginning of the 4th half.
On the Detroit Pistons side, Bojan Bogdanovic gradually led the team with 29 points (4-7 3PT). Right behind him were 18 points with 3 steals from Saddiq Bey and 14 points with 3 assists from Jaden Ivey.
