DALLAS — Luka Doncic had 34 points and 12 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks turned up the defensive intensity in a 115-90 victory over the Miami Heat. The Mavericks were without No. 2 scorer Christian Wood, who missed his first game with a broken left thumb. They responded two nights after blistering criticism of their recent defense from coach Jason Kidd by holding the Heat to 33% shooting in the first and third quarters combined. Miami's point total was a season low for a Mavs opponent. Victor Oladipo scored 20 points and Bam Adebayo had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Heat.
