Meanwhile, Dallas was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Saturday as they fell 126-120 to Oklahoma City. The Mavericks have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

The matchup was Doncic's fourth in a row with at least 30 points. Another player making a difference was Dereck Lively II, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and 16 rebounds.
