LOS ANGELES – Luka Doncic scored 42 points and Kyrie Irving added 40 as the Dallas Mavericks thwarted the Philadelphia 76ers' late comeback bid Thursday in a wild 133-126 NBA victory. Offensive fireworks were expected in a game featuring the top two scorers in the league in Doncic and 76ers center Joel Embiid. But the seamless blend of Doncic and Irving was a revelation after the Mavs had gone 1-4 with the two on court since Irving's arrival via a trade with Brooklyn last month. The two combined for 18 assists.
