Luka sets another record in win over Warriors
It was another night to remember for Dallas Mavericks wunderkind Luka Doncic.
The 20-year-old became the only player in NBA history to record multiple career 30-point triple-doubles in 30 minutes or less of playing time, according to the team.
Doncic notched 31 points, 12 rebounds, and 15 assists in 30 minutes as Dallas blew out the Golden State Warriors 141-121 on Saturday. He accomplished the same feat against the Warriors last month.
The Mavs superstar also surpassed Michael Jordan as the youngest player in league history to record multiple 30-point, 15-assist games in one season, according to NBA Stats.
It was Doncic's ninth triple-double of the 2019-20 campaign, tying him with Jason Kidd for the single-season franchise record. He logged eight triple-doubles during his entire rookie season.
Dallas also drilled 24 3-pointers and scored 140-plus points for the third time this season, setting a pair of Mavs records. It was also the club's ninth straight game with 14-plus made shots from beyond the arc, which is the second-longest streak in NBA history, according to Basketball Reference.
The Mavs improved to 21-10 with the win and sit fifth in the West.
