Nothing only Luka Doncic didn’t fear the beard, but when all was said and done, the Dallas Mavericks got with relative ease the 137-123 win in Houston.

Once more, the Slovenian sensation stole the show with 41 points, ten rebounds, and six assists. He became just the fourth player who had a streak of at least four games with 30+ points and 10+ assists since 1983-84.

The first one was Michael Jordan, and the other two, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, were beaten by him in Houston.

Dallas had a 78-61 halftime lead with Doncic already scoring 17 points, but he was also dominant in the closing minutes when he kept Houston at a distance.

Latvian Kristaps Porzingis added 23 points and 13 rebounds for the winning side.

Thanks to this result, Dallas has climbed to the third spot of the Western Conference standings with an 11-5 record, while the Rockets dropped to 11-6 and the sixth place.
