Dallas Mavericks' star player Luka Doncic made history today by becoming the first player in NBA history to achieve six consecutive "30-point triple-doubles," as the Mavericks defeated the Detroit Pistons 142-124.
According to Agence France-Presse, Doncic delivered 39 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in this game, surpassing Russell Westbrook's record of five consecutive games with at least 30 points, triple-doubles set during the 2016-17 season.
The Slovenian star Doncic also extended his streak of recording triple-doubles with 35 points or more to five consecutive games. In this game, he also contributed with 3 steals and 2 blocks.
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd commented after the game, "This just speaks to where he (Doncic) is right now."
Doncic scored 26 points in the first half alone, including a remarkable 21-point outburst in the second quarter. At that time, the home Pistons fans were chanting "Luca (Doncic) sucks," which seemed to fuel his competitiveness.
The Mavericks expanded their lead to 16 points in the third quarter and opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run to seal the victory.
Kyrie Irving contributed 21 points for the Mavericks in this game, while the Pistons' standout performer was Cade Cunningham with 33 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds. |
