Luka Maverick

Luka Doncic returned to Dallas for the first time as a Los Angeles Laker and did not disappoint, leading the Lakers to a 112-97 victory.  Luka led all scorers with 45 points on stellar 16 of 28 shooting.  He also contributed 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals to cap off the night.  Dallas fans showed the love they have for Luka, and also the scorn they have for Dallas management.  

While I get the Dallas fans disappointment, their continued vitriol against Mavs ownership is kinda disrespectful to the players they received in the Luka trade, most notably Anthony Davis.  A.D. is one of the best bigs in the history of the game, a likely first-ballot Hall of Famer, and NBA Champion.  This trade has been debated at length already so I won’t get into here, but all the Mavs team needs to do is win, and this will all be put on the back-burner (but it will never be forgotten).  

If you're a baller like me and you appreciate box scores like this, then you may like my box score art.  Game recognize game.  Much appreciated!
