On many nights, it can feel like Luka Doncic carries an undermanned Mavericks team to victory. Few performances have evoked that sentiment like Tuesday’s historic performance against the Knicks.
Doncic notched 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists, becoming the first player in NBA history with a 60-point, 20-rebound triple-double. Dallas needed every bit of it, too, as the team erased a nine-point deficit in the final 30 seconds of regulation before coming away with a thrilling 126–121 overtime victory.
Doncic shot an absurd 21-for-31 from the field, with nearly all of his damage coming from inside the three-point line.
