Luka Doncic finished with 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists just hours after his most recent technical foul and one-game suspension were rescinded Monday by the NBA and led the Dallas Mavericks past the Indiana Pacers 127-104.
Doncic had picked up his 16th technical that was rescinded on Sunday in the team’s second loss to Charlotte.
The technical came with 7:51 remaining in the third quarter of a 110-104 loss when Doncic argued a no-call after missing a shot on a drive to the basket.
Crew chief Kevin Scott said in a pool report after the game that Doncic used “a profanity directed at the officials in protest to a no-call that was correctly judged in postgame video review.”
A few hours later, NBA officials announced they had rescinded the All-Star's most recent technical foul and the subsequent one-game suspension. Doncic responded to that news with exactly the kind of performance the Mavs needed for their final playoff push.
25 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists as well as snapping a four-game losing streak means that his team remain within striking distance of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder in the race for the final two play-in spots in the Western Conference.
