Luol Deng Scores Season-High 30 Against Dallas

By Sam Neter on November 10, 2014

Miami Heat and GB forward Luol Deng scored a season-high 30 points and the Heat stayed perfect against Dallas since the 2011 NBA Finals with a 105-96 victory on Sunday night.

The Heat have won seven straight regular-season games against Dallas since the Mavericks took three in a row in the finals to capture their first championship.

Deng was the key factor in the win, going 13 of 19 from the field (4 of 9 from behind the arc) with five rebounds and four assists as the ball-moving Heat shot 55 percent to 42 percent for Dallas.

“We still have a lot to figure out,” Deng said. “Their game plan today, they doubled Bosh and D-Wade, and we did a good job of moving the ball and had a lot of open jumpers.”

Deng also badly outplayed Dallas’ big free-agent pickup in Chandler Parsons, who had just four points and is 2 of 20 from the field the past two games.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
