MIAMI, FL (Sporting Alert) —— Standout guard Luka Doncic almost single-handedly carried the Dallas Mavericks to a fantastic 126-121 overtime victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night – finishing with a 60-point, 21-rebound, and 10-assist performance. The following are the latest NBA results from the games that were played last night, Tuesday, December 27.
What did Luka Doncic do? – Did he create NBA history?
Doncic is known for doing extraordinary things, but the 23-year-old delivered something extra special last night –setting a new Dallas franchise record for points and collecting a career-best for rebounds in what some of my colleagues could describe as a wild overtime encounter at American Airlines Center. To make things even more special, Doncic set a milestone that has never been done in NBA history, tallying the first-ever 60-point, 20-rebound, and 10-assist triple-double performance in the league.
