On December 28, the Mavericks welcomed the Cavaliers at home. The biggest attraction of the game was the matchup between two young superstars, Colin LeVert of the Cavaliers and Luka Doncic of the Mavericks. Both are the future of the NBA, and their performance will have a direct impact on the game.
After the game began, Doncic showed his extraordinary strength, scoring 20 points in the first quarter, leading the Mavericks to a 16-0 attack wave, and once led the Cavaliers by 19 points. Doncic's shooting is hot, whether it's a breakaway, a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, he can easily hit it. He was also very precise in his passing and created a lot of chances for his team-mates. Doncic's performance put the Cavaliers' defense in a difficult position, and they couldn't find an effective defensive strategy.
