There is a time in a few rookies life in the "Logo" where they start feeling themselves not Beyonce "Feeling Yourself" but Hoops "Feeling Yourself" and for Dallas Mavericks #1 Donut-Runner and Arguably the best Rookie of the bunch Luka Doncic he is starting to take the "Logo" by storm!

The Los Angeles Clippers almost let this one slip away as they had to closeout the contest from shooting from the charity stripe and that worked for a 125-121 "W"! That wasn't the story in the end as it was coming into tonight's action.

The story was Mavs Rookie Luka Doncic (pictured right from Luka's Club Team RealMadrid.com) who has taken off here in the last month and tonight did not disappoint. Doncic had a team-high 32 points on 10 for 20 from the field with four helpers, five boards and four thefts. His floor game and feel for the game and Basketball IQ is up there with some of the elite in the "Logo" already.

It was the Clippers SF Danillo Gallinari who match
ed Doncic with 32 points for his own as the Italian smooth slicing and dicing small forward was joined bu Lou Williams 26 off the Clippers Bench with Trez Harrell adding 18 points.

Doncic was helped by the Mavs Bench with JJ Barea adding 19 points and former Mavericks Lottery Pick Devin Harris chipping in with 13. Dallas with the loss is 15-15 as the Clips move to 18-13. No shots at my man Dirk Nowitzki but it is safe to say the Mavs have found their guy to carry the Mavs into the next 15 or so years in Slovenia's Point Forward Luka Doncic!
