Luka Doncic, on Tuesday night, led his team- the Dallas Mavericks, to an incredible 126-121 overtime victory playing against the New York Knicks. In the match, Luka surpassed Dirk Nowitzki’s previous record of 53 points, which he had held since 2004.
The game will constantly circulate in the memories of Doncic as he scored sixty points with twenty-one rebounds and ten assists. His 60-20-10 was the first triple-double that the NBA world had witnessed.
Before the game could close, Luka scored his 21st rebound after missing the target in the first go. While he was celebrating his opposite number, Mitchell Robinson tried luck tossing the ball in the air in an attempt to score with milliseconds left.
