Luka Dončić Posts 34 Points in Loss to Raptors
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić had a big night on the stat sheet, but it wasn't enough to lead his team to victory as they fell to the Toronto Raptors 113-105.
Dončić finished with 34 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists, but the Mavericks were unable to overcome a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
The Raptors were led by Pascal Siakam, who had 29 points and 10 rebounds. Fred VanVleet added 26 points and 7 assists, and Scottie Barnes had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Mavericks have now lost three of their last four games and are 13-15 on the season. The Raptors have won three of their last four games and are 15-14.
Dončić has been one of the most impressive players in the NBA this season, averaging 33.2 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game.
However, the Mavericks have struggled to find consistency this season, and they have been without several key players due to injury.
The Mavericks will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder.
