GAME 12: TOR (8-4) @ DAL (7-5) | 110-102 win

[SleepingHero]

Kleber getting all these wide open looks and they're just not falling. This game would be a 12 point lead if he hit them.

LUKA AGAIN!

Luka definitely got hit on his drive right before there, but Wright also traveled so the refs didn't call it.

Luka can simply score at will on the drive.  And his handles are so good that he makes it look so easy.  He's such a unique player.

KP looks really active tonight.  I like his energy.

He looks so engaged so far. Hasn't gotten many shots, but he's rebounding and defending like a prime Tyson. Not to mention the passes he's making to the wide open shooters.

Imagine a slightly taller Chandler with more blocking instincts and an elite 3 point shot.

Ummm

Why is everyone acting like KP is playing like a 100 million dollar player? He needs to be more than just a hustle guy. He was supposed to be a robin to Luka Batman.

[SleepingHero]

The Raptors are literally flinging 3 defenders at a time and tackling Luka straight out of the air.

If Luka got a tenth of the calls Harden got the Raptors would never be able to do that.

[TheSportyChannel]

Luka can't be stopped inside. Lebronto 2.0

[Tyler]

What a recovery and shot by Wright!

[SleepingHero]

Wright just bailed out of Powell from a Shaqtin a fool special and ruining Luka's amazing setup.

[donzingis38]

Remember when Luka said it's easier to score in the NBA?


Yeah.. he's not kidding.

[SleepingHero]

LUKA IS INSANE!!

[Hypermav]

Nurse needs a doctor...

Raptor fan on reddit:

Congratulations to Luka Doncic, for scoring more points against us in a single quarter than Damian Lillard did over the course of an entire game.

(Still love you Dame)

HALLELUKA

14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, countless highlights. What a first quarter.

[Hypermav]

Luka is faking the double teams, really amazing stuff.

[jesusshuttlesworth82]

The number of times Harper says "nice" right as the Mavs turn it over is amazing.

And Luka is incredible.

[Tyler]

Carlisle trying something new tonight.

He's played basically the entire starting lineup the whole quarter. Longest KP has been on the floor. Only now he's making subs.

And Luka played the entire 1st quarter.  

Not coincidentally, with more starter play including Maxi and DFS, Dallas had their best start in what feels like forever.  Nice.

[SportPsychMav]

People who don't watch the games must think Luka draws fouls like harden, but that just isn't the case. He is a tough man. He takes so much physicality it's rediculous what he plays through. Once he gets in the paint it's like 80% going in or free throws that's insane.

Mavs play good overall. Still sloppy but with good asareness. I like that Rick made some adjustments I also called for as Luka was of the ball some to start as well giving Seth and Delon the chance to handle the ball.

[TheSportyChannel]

Mavericks need to build a team with bunch of guys who can shoot the 3 and 1 great big guy inside. That is what will be best with Luka running the floor.

[SleepingHero]

Powell not blocking out and nearly gets jammed on by Boucher.

[LukTheShadow]

End of first Q. Mavs lead us Tor for 10pt. Priceless surprise.
