CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets overcame a 40-point outing from Luka Doncic to defeat Dallas for the second time in three days, 110-104. It was another blow to the Mavericks’ playoff hopes. Gordon Hayward scored 22 points and P.J. Washington had 21 points and 12 rebounds for the Hornets. The Mavericks entered the day tied with Oklahoma City for the 10th-best record in the Western Conference, but the Thunder hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. Doncic picked up his 16th technical foul of the season in the third quarter, meaning he will face a one-game suspension on Monday night unless the technical is rescinded by the league office.
