The Dallas Mavericks won their fourth game of the season with a win over the Utah Jazz. Once again, it was Luka Doncic who led the way in Mavericks’ close win against Utah. In addition, in pursuit of the fourth win of the season, Luka Magic broke past a 50-year record.

Falling just one step short, he seems to be filled up with hunger this season. So far, Doncic has been dominant in each game of the season. Becoming the Mavericks’ offense on his own, he has truly become a one-man commander of the forces.
