PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers knew they had to center their focus on one certain guy in order to knock off the Dallas Mavericks the way they did on Friday in a 111-101 win.
That guy was Mavericks star Luka Doncic who entered Friday’s contest averaging 28.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 8.6 assists. In Dallas’ win over the Sixers back on February, he scored 33 points on 13-for-28 shooting with 15 assists and 13 rebounds.
Things were much different on Friday as Doncic finished with just 17 points on 5-for-20 shooting and he had 10 assists, seven rebounds, and six turnovers as Philadelphia threw a bunch of different defenses at him.
