    Luka Doncic had 27 points and 13 assists to lead the host Dallas Mavericks past the cold-shooting Chicago Bulls 119-99 in the NBA on Wednesday night.

    The Mavericks feasted on poor Chicago transition defense, scoring 21 fastbreak points, and led by as much as 30.

    The Bulls, playing without All-Star Zach LaVine (adductor strain), shot just 41.9 percent from the floor and were 12-of-42 (28.6 percent) from 3-point range.

    Chicago went on a run in the second quarter with Josh Giddey making a 3-point to help pull the Bulls to 43-37 with six minutes left, but that was as close as they would come. Doncic sparked a 10-2 Dallas run with four free throws and a short jumper to push the lead back up to double digits. Dallas held a 56-45 lead at halftime.

    Dallas went on a 13-0 run to open the second half, capped by a three by Klay Thompson to make it 69-45 with 8:46 left in the third. Thompson finished with 13 points and was 3-for-7 from beyond the arc.

    Doncic went to the bench for good with 7:24 left and the Mavericks up 97-74.

    The Mavericks played without center Dereck Lively for a second straight contest. He injured his shoulder in warmups before Monday’s against Indiana. Forward P.J. Washington missed Wednesday’s contest with a knee sprain.
