Dallas Mavericks 124, Cleveland Cavaliers 97
Tim Hardaway Jr. continued his hot form with 25 points and Josh Richardson added 20.
Luka Doncic was ejected early after being assessed a flagrant 2 foul, finishing the game with 15 points, five rebounds and five assists.
Luka Doncic got ejected vs. Cavs -- flagrant 2 for "an aggressive strike to the groin area" of Collin Sexton. That does not count toward Doncic's technical total, so it won't trigger an automatic one-game suspension.
