Six 3-pointers sets the new Mavericks record in a player's debut with the team.

Luka Dončić on playing with Klay Thompson: “It’s easy to play with a guy like that. It makes your life easier. You gotta find him… It makes my life and Kai’s life easier. It makes the whole team’s life easier. It’s a lot of space, so it’s great.”
