Doncic’s hot Mavs team ends the Rockets’ 11-game winning streak.

Houston (AP) — With a 125-107 victory on Sunday night, the Dallas Mavericks ended the Houston Rockets’ 11-game winning streak and won their seventh consecutive. Luka Doncic finished with 47 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists, while Kyrie Irving added 24 points and seven assists.

The Mavs lead 66-45 at the half after Doncic scored 32 points on 12-of-18 shooting, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range. Doncic finished with 18 of 30 points from the field, including 9 of 16 on threes, and had 22 points in only the first quarter. He reached a career-high of three points made.

“Knowing the time and where we are in the schedule and this road trip, he came out and showed why he’s one of the best in the world,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd remarked. “When you talk about best player in the world.” “He initiated an aggressive tone. He played the defense we saw tonight, made baskets, and read defenses. He has a duty to perform, and he performed it admirably tonight.

Early in the third quarter, with the shot clock winding down, Doncic made an underhand lob from inside the 3-point line that would make your jaw drop.

“I think many people were thrilled to see him do that, but I think at the same time, that’s Luka,” Kidd said. “He’s always able to make tough shots. He’s Picasso. Give him the paintbrush, he’s going to do something special. That shot was pretty special.”
