LaMelo Ball lit up the Mavericks with 22 points (8-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, nine assists, two steals and six three-pointers on Thursday.

It wasn’t a monster game for LaMelo, but it didn’t need to be. He made the most of his 25 minutes on the court in the blowout win. This was his fifth straight game with at least 20 points, and he set a new season high for assists. LaMelo took some time to get going, but he is starting to get into a groove with Anthony Edwards sidelined. Minnesota has now won five straight games and will look to extend their streak with the Bulls coming to town on Saturday.
