Luka Doncic makes honest Klay Thompson statement after Bulls-Mavs game

On Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks hosted the Chicago Bulls in Texas.

The Mavs won by a score of 119-99 and improved to 5-3 in their first eight games of the new season.

Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic and Klay Thompson combined to score 57 points.

Via MFFL Nation: “Luka Doncic tonight:
27 PTS | 13AST | 7 REB | +35

Kyrie Irving tonight:
17 PTS | 6 REB | 2AST | 7-11 FG

Klay Thompson tonight:
13 PTS | 6 REB | 5-10 FG | +27

The Mavs trio went OUT. “

After the game, Doncic was honest about the fact that it can take time to develop chemistry with a new player like Thompson (h/t NBA TV).

Doncic: “I think we’re still trying to figure it out. It’s not easy to connect with a guy right away. Me and Ky, we needed some time to connect. Now we have all three of them in the team. It’s clear that we’ll need a little more time, but it’s getting easier.”

Thompson has been able to adapt well through the first eight games.

The four-time NBA champion is expected to help the Mavs return to the Finals in 2025.

After Chicago, they play their next game on Friday evening, hosting Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns.

As for the Bulls, they fell to 3-5 in their first eight games.

They will now host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in Chicago.
