There’s no doubt that Luka Doncic has set a super-sized high bar for himself. How else can anyone explain why the Dallas Mavericks’ superstar point guard was critical of himself following the staggering numbers he produced during Sunday’s 117-101 loss to the Chicago Bulls at American Airlines Center.
Doncic finished the game with 36 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists in racking up his third triple-double of the season. But what truly bothered the Mavs’ third-year phenom was that after he manufactured 30 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the first half, in the second half he collected six points, nine rebounds and 10 assists.
