Luka Doncic with six points in the 32 seconds of the second quarter, including a banked-in 30-footer that put the Mavericks up 62-50 just before the halftime buzzer. He’s got 18 points, six assists at the break. James Harden with 7 points, 7 assists, 6 rebs. – 8:28 PM

Halftime: Mavs lead the Nets 62-50. Luka just banked a shot I will tell my children about. Brooklyn has been sloppy and is getting killed in transition. Has hung around, but hasn’t closed the gap to really make it a game. The Mavs have led all game. – 8:27 PM

HALF: Nets 50, Mavericks 62
LaMarcus Aldridge (13 PTS), James Johnson (10 PTS, 5 REBS) & the Nets are shooting well at 51%. However, they’re getting exposed in the interior defensively. A lack of pressure overall on that end is making Dallas a little bit too comfortable. – 8:26 PM
