The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Toronto Raptors, and Luka Doncic stole the show with an impressive 30-point triple-double.
The Slovenian star achieved his 79th career triple-double, moving past Wilt Chamberlain and James Harden on the NBA’s all-time list into seventh place.
“That’s an incredible feat for Luka,” Dallas’ head coach Jason Kidd said of Doncic’s move past Chamberlain and Harden. “When you talk about his skill set, filling up the stat sheet, he’s had two here, he can run them off. We always expect him to have a triple-double or sometimes take him for granted for triple-doubles. I think right now you can see that he’s starting to get into a groove.”
Interestingly, the next place on the all-time list is held by Luka’s head coach, Jason Kidd, who posted 107 triple-doubles over the course of his career.
“I guess I’ve got to sit him,” Kidd added jokingly.
Doncic rounded out his amazing performance with some long assists, including full-court ones.
“It’s just incredible, the ability, the strength to be able to throw it that far. He probably could have been a quarterback for the Cowboys,” Jason Kidd concluded.
