After the milestone was reached in a 127-99 victory over the Nuggets on Friday night, a member of the Dallas public relations staff told Doncic what he had done.
DALLAS — Luka Doncic lobbied Jason Kidd to stay in the game at the start of the fourth quarter with Dallas well on its way to a blowout in the first of consecutive meetings with shorthanded Denver.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone is just hoping for a little help against the three-time All-Star in the rematch Sunday night. All three weren’t on the trip for the first of two games in Dallas. Malone said Gordon was the only one who might be available Sunday.Christian Wood had 28 points and eight rebounds for the Mavericks, and Spencer Dinwiddie scored 15.
Even though rest was already an issue, with Doncic coming off a missed game and Dallas losing to lowly Houston without him, Kidd let Doncic start the fourth after playing all of the third. “I don't look at the stat sheet, so I don't know if he has a triple-double or if he has 35 points,” Kidd said. “We've been playing him to start the fourth, so this is something we could be looking at going forward.”
