Luka Don\u010di\u0107 smiles as he defeats his former team, the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n
What we know after Saturday\u2019s games:<\/p>\n
-Luka Don\u010di\u0107 has 33 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists in a comeback victory in Dallas. The Slovenian punished his former team with that monster stat line, helping LA close the game on a 29-11 run to grab a 116-110 win against the Mavericks. This was one of the final games of AWS NBA Rivals Week.<\/p>\n
-The Bulls get a buzzer-beater from Kevin Huerter to defeat the Celtics. There were 21 lead changes in that epic game, with Chicago riding a 62-53 second half to a comeback victory. Huerter hit that game-winning 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds remaining, and now the Chicago faithful will celebrate Derrick Rose\u2019s Jersey Retirement after the game.<\/p>\n
