Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson
A game full of twists and turns is what a fanatic would say after watching Dallas Mavericks facing New Orleans Pelicans. Both Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson scored not only team high, but also their career-best scores. Luka Doncic hit career best 46, whereas Zion Williamson struck career best 36 as the Dallas Mavericks got the better of Pelicans 143-130.
Kristaps Porzingis also scored 36 for the Mavericks, Doncic seemed perfect from behind the arc in the third quarter. Maverick’s marquee scorer knocked a double-double with 12 assists as well against his name. On the other hand, Zion was flawless in the first quarter. Brandon Ingram also scored a 30+ score for his respective team. The Mavericks matched their season best with a fourth consecutive victory and beat the Pelicans for the fifth straight time.
Luka Doncic and Zion Wiliamson record career-best scores as Mavericks top Pelicans
Porzingis, who finished three points shy of his most since coming to Dallas in the blockbuster trade with New York in 2019, set a career high for any half with six 3-pointers before halftime. Four of them came in the first five-plus minutes.
Luka Doncic, who tied his career high of 42 in a recent scoring showdown with Golden State star Stephen Curry, was 17 of 30 from the field, including 5 of 8 from 3, and went 7 of 9 on free throws. The Slovenian sensation, the third overall pick in the 2018 draft, has won both meetings with Williamson, the top choice from a year later.
“Sometimes the trust can be there and a team just hits tough shots,” Zion Williamson said. “I think Luka went on a run there where he hit like four or five toughs, contested 3-pointers. There’s not really a defensive scheme you can do there. That’s just a great player hitting tough shots.”
