The most stunning statistic from the Mavericks' win over the Knicks? Dallas became the first team in at least two decades to pull out a victory after trailing by at least nine points in the final 35 seconds. "This tonight, there's not really any way to accurately describe that. "Guys say all the time that we see it and we know his greatness, but he's showing up on a whole different level in a whole lot of different ways," Mavericks center Dwight Powell said. Doncic has scored at least 50 points in two of his past three games, hitting the marker in Friday's road win over the Rockets. He is only 23 years old, but he already has six career 40-point triple-doubles, tying LeBron James for the fifth most in NBA history. Elgin Baylor and Wilt, he was in that class, and then he separated himself and made his own class."Īs much as Doncic's statistics pop out of the box score, it's not necessarily shocking that he put up those kind of numbers. "There's been some great players before him. "To do something that's never been done before, that's hard to do," Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. That earned Doncic a dousing from teammates armed with dozens of water bottles as he entered the locker room after the victory. Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain (twice) and Elgin Baylor are the only other players to grab at least 20 rebounds during a 50-point triple-double. Jump ball too," Doncic jokingly noted when asked about his 60-21-10 line, which broke Dirk Nowitzki's franchise record for points in a game and set Doncic's career high for rebounds.ĭoncic's 60 points tied the record for the highest-scoring triple-double in NBA history, matching James Harden's 60 for the Houston Rockets in a Jan. I was like, 'Oof.' I didn't know what to do."ĭoncic proceeded to put the finishing touches on a statistical line never before seen in the NBA - 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists - to allow the Mavericks to pull off an improbable 126-121 comeback win over the New York Knicks. "I thought we won the game," Doncic said. When the buzzer sounded a second later, Doncic continued his celebration, putting his fists in the air and bouncing up and down while prancing up the sideline, soaking in the adulation from the American Airlines Center sellout crowd that was worked into a frenzy by the superstar's historically sensational triple-double Tuesday night.
After a quick roll, he hopped back onto his feet and did an impromptu dance to celebrate while frantically waving his hands up and down.
