Luka Dončić returned to Dallas! That meant only one thing, the defeat of the franchise that gave up the Slovenian superstar in an unusual, unexpected and ugly way.
The LA Lakers won in Dallas 116:110, Luka was expectedly the best with 33 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists and also forced a foul on his opponent in the attack that marked the defeat to the Mavericks.
The home team was motivated and had a 14-point lead with eight minutes left, but Luka, with the help of LeBron James, neutralized it all.
Dončić did not arrive "empty-handed" to his former home, he brought 22 gifts for the fans who supported him the most in Dallas.
Nikola Vučević remains in Chicago until the end of his contract, Illinois is not even thinking about a trade, and Baranin has paid his dues - 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists in win over Boston - 114: 111.
Chicago tied its fourth triumph and Vučević had one more turnover and one turnover, as well as two blocks. He missed only three times (10/7) and was accurate from behind the three-point line both times.
This time Vučević didn't get the last shot, Kevin Herter did it - a three-pointer for the win with 0,2 seconds left.
And this was on the night when the Chicago franchise drafted number 1, Derrick Rose!
Jusuf Nurkic also set a Utah record on the night. The Bosnian center became the first player in Jazz history to record a triple-double in three consecutive games, but his team was defeated by Miami. He had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.
He previously had three complete columns in a win over Minnesota and a loss to San Antonio.
