Luka Doncic scored 32 points and the Dallas Mavericks tied their season-high four consecutive wins with a 146-111 victory Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Kyrie Irving scored 25 points and Daniel Gafford had 19 points and nine rebounds in his Dallas debut, joining PJ Washington after both arrived in a trade before Thursday’s deadline.
Gafford, who wasted no time and was energetic off the bench as is expected to continue once rookie Dereck Lively II returned from a broken nose, arrived from the Washington Wizards.
Washington, who had 14 points, arrived in a trade with Charlotte. The newcomers had alley-oop dunks with assists from Doncic minutes after entering the court in the first period.
Doncic, who sat on the bench in the fourth quarter, finished with nine assists and eight rebounds as Dallas improved to 4-0 with Doncic and Irving on the floor since Irving returned from a sprained thumb.
