LOS ANGELES - It was clear Luka Doncic was having "fun" after he scored 14 of his 32 points in the first quarter, as the Dallas Mavericks got off to a hot start en route to a 108-85 National Basketball Association (NBA) victory over the Orlando Magic on Nov 3.

 The Mavs took control early against an Orlando side missing 2023 Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero because of an oblique injury, and notched their highest-scoring first period of the season to take a 30-22 lead after one quarter and never trailed thereafter.
"Today was real fun. We were guarding everybody, defending, rebounding, playing with a lot of pace. So that's fun for me," said Doncic, who added nine rebounds and seven assists.
Daniel Gafford scored 18 points and star guard Kyrie Irving chipped in 17 for Dallas, who led by as many as 33 points at the American Airlines Centre.
Klay Thompson, a four-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors who joined Dallas as a free agent this season, had a quiet night with nine points on four-of-10 shooting, connecting on just one of his five three-point attempts.
