Winning six of their past nine games, including a crucial victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night, the Mavericks are now the owners of the No. 4 seed in the West.
In that win, Doncic poured in 32 points, 10 rebounds and five assists on 11-of-21 from the field and 4-of-7 from the 3-point line.
“That’s what we wanted, but it’s a long way to go,” Doncic said. “We’ve still got to keep our composure, focus on the next opponent and try to win every game.”
