Luka Dončić (38 pts, 11 rebs, 8 ast | Rating: 9/10) had his usual game, recording almost a triple-double in the loss. Unfortunately, no other Mavs recorded a double-digit scoring.

Nikola Jokić (8 pts, 9 rebs, 7 ast | Rating: 6/10) had a Draymond-esque game, but his team stepped up. Jamal Murray (22 pts, 4 rebs | Rating: 8/10) and Reggie Jackson (20 pts, 4 ast | Rating: 8/10) both played great.

However, the Player of the Game is Aaron Gordon (Rating: 8/10) after recording 21 points, five rebounds, and five assists.
