Luka Doncic's exceptional performances have been a highlight for the Dallas Mavericks, despite the team's fluctuating success. Doncic notched his 12th 30-point triple-double of the season in a loss to the Pacers, with the Mavericks going 6-6 in those games, including three losses in the last five nights. Over the last six games, he has averaged 37 points per game, but the Mavericks have struggled, going 1-5 in this stretch. His achievements include a 39-10-11 line against the Pacers and a 38-10-10 performance in another game, underscoring his individual brilliance. Furthermore, Doncic's record of four straight games with a 35-point triple-double is the longest streak in NBA history. Despite these stellar performances, the Mavericks have faced challenges in securing wins, as evidenced by their recent 114-108 victory over the Miami Heat, where Doncic played a key role.
thought it was notable that with the game on the line and the mavericks needing a win against a good team, the mavericks closed with luka, kyrie, exum, maxi, livey -- all players they started the season with, no trade deadline guys.

The Mavericks are down 58-54 but at least the defense showed a pulse in the second quarter. The Heat scored just 22 points and their shooting chilled off considerably. Mavs still with a lot of work to do in the second half.
