This is the first time in three official duels that the native of Ljubljana takes the upper hand over his compatriot. “Luka works hard. Everything is going in the right direction at home in terms of condition, ”said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle.
The Slovenian prodigy is getting closer to his statistics from the previous season, his second in the NBA, in which he finished at 28, 8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 average passes. On the other hand, for Miami, which remained on a series of six victories against the Texans, the season is badly started.
