It is too early to assume that the Mavs have got an incredible duo in Doncic and Wood. However, fans are enjoying the combination plays between the two. Doncic scored some insane baskets and set up Wood on several occasions against the Grizzlies.

Of the 32 points, Doncic scored against the Grizzlies, 21 came in the first quarter itself. The Mavericks rode on to the brilliant start by Doncic and won the game 137-96. Ja Morant was contained well by the Mavs’ defense, as he managed to score only 20 points.

Luka Doncic’s advice to Christian Wood worked in game 2 win

Dallas Mavericks lost their opening game of the season to Phoenix Suns. They squandered a 17-point lead from the first half and lost the game by 2 points. Christian Wood scored 25 points in his opening game vs the Suns. However, he missed 7 free throws in the game and that might have changed the course of the game. But Doncic had a piece of advice for Wood after the game.

“It’s more mental than anything,” Doncic said about Mavs’ free-throw struggle vs the Suns. “Miss a couple, and then you’re just thinking ‘Oh, I can’t miss again.’ Stew on that some more and then probably you miss again.”

“It’s a lot of mental. You’ve just got to forget what happened and then just go on the line and [not] think about it.”

It appears that Doncic’s advice worked as Wood impressed in his 2nd game as a Mav. He scored 12 out of 14 free throws he attempted during the game. Wood excelled against the Grizzlies and is making a case for himself to be picked as a starter this season.
