Luka Doncic had 27 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds, narrowly missing his 37th career triple-double, Kristaps Porzingis had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks rallied from an early 14-point deficit to beat the Toronto Raptors 103-95 Saturday night.
Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 13 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and Dwight Powell and Dorian Finney-Smith each had 11 as Dallas bounced back from Thursday’s season-opening loss at Atlanta.
OG Anunoby scored 23 points for the Raptors, who were playing the second game of a back-to-back. Toronto won 115-83 at Boston Friday.
Fred VanVleet scored 20 points and Scottie Barnes had 17. Precious Achiuwa had 10 points and 12 rebounds and Gary Trent Jr. scored 12 points.
Anunoby and Trent combined for 30 points in the first half but had just five between them in the second as the Raptors couldn’t make an early lead stand-up.
The Mavericks shot a dismal 32.6% (31 of 93) from the field against the Hawks Thursday, and weren’t much better in the early going against Toronto, missing nine of their first 10 attempts. Dallas went 0 for 8 from the 3-point range in the first quarter.
