Mavericks suffer the first home defeat: Doncic fights in vain!

Dallas, USA - The Dallas Mavericks, led by superstar Luka Doncic, have suffered a shocking home defeat! In the third home game of the season, the Mavericks against the Houston Rockets lost 102: 108. A game that the hosts never got under control - they were back from the start and could not catch up with the lead.

In the first half, the Mavericks fell behind with up to 23 points! At the beginning of the last quarter, the deficit was still 16 points. But Luka Doncic, who shone with 29 points, didn't want to give up. He scored 15 of his points in the final section and brought his team up to only three points with two threes. But the comeback remained unfulfilled. Maxi Kleber was missing the Mavericks again because he could not play because of a thigh injury - the third game in a row!
