The Mavericks, on the other hand, are ranked 5th in the West with 48 wins and 30 losses, and have recently won three in a row, closely following the Clippers in front.
At the beginning of the game, the Hornets were in a sluggish state, frequently hitting irons, and making mistakes one after another, as if their minds were not on the court at all, and they were already thinking about how to take a vacation in the offseason. The Mavericks continued their previous good form, and Doncic began to explode in the first quarter, shooting 7 of 12, including 5 three-pointers, and exploded with 21 points and 7 rebounds. And Doncic scored more points alone than the entire Hornets team, and it was really 1 to 5!At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks 36:18 Hornets.

As the second quarter continued, the Hornets regained some offensive form and began to score. And the Mavericks blossomed more under the leadership of Doncic, Irving, Gafford , Hardaway, and Kleber all opened, either eating cake on the inside, or empty three-pointers on the outside, and everyone could score. At halftime, the Mavericks 69:47 Hornets continued to extend their lead.

For the Mavericks, Doncic continued to output, scoring 37 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in the third quarter, hitting 8 three-pointers.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks led the Hornets 97-83.
Doncic doesn't look at assists
In the crucial fourth quarter, the Mavericks played steadily and always maintained their lead. In this game, Gafford became the king of cakes, and was fed by Doncic and Irving until he vomited! He scored 26 points on 12-of-12 shooting from the field, except for 2 free throws, all of which were scored by eating cakes under the basket. The Wasp did not have a strong desire to win, and fell behind by a large score, so they immediately gave up resistance and surrendered. In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Hornets 130-104.
