#1 Davis vs Doncic 2.0

Davis vs Doncic 2.0

The last time this amazing encounter happened, it was a tremendous sight to watch as a basketball fan. Anthony Davis did everything he could but came up short against Doncic and Co. But this time he came in and let his intentions be clear from the beginning. He dominated entirely and didn’t give the Mavericks any chance of taking a breather even though they were ahead.

And, by the end, he finished with 48 points and 17 rebounds and also got that crucial victory.

On the other hand, Luka Doncic had his career-high 34 points shooting efficiently, 10-16 from the field. He might even have given Dallas the victory had he taken the last shot.

In their next match, the Pelicans will face the Rockets in a home game, while the Mavericks will host the Oklahoma City Thunder in hopes of getting back to winning ways.
