MADRID, 22 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Dallas Mavericks once again overcame the absence of their star, Slovenian point guard Luka Doncic, and added their second victory in their NBA Western Conference quarterfinal playoff by beating Utah 118-126 Jazz from a little participative Juancho Hernangómez.
The forward from Madrid is not getting many minutes in this series and this time he barely spent six minutes on the court, during which time he could only distribute one assist and miss his two shots.
The ‘Mavs’ demonstrated their competitive ability without Doncic, whom they replaced with a great ensemble performance, with seven players contributing 12 or more points, led by Jalen Brunson’s 31. Their good first half (51-68) allowed them to control a rival in which Donovan Mitchell stood out with 32 points.
