In the Mavericks' very large victory against the Jazz (147-97), Luka Doncic logically had fun with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. But it's not just this 60th career triple-double, one more than Larry Bird, that is noteworthy. It’s the speed with which he achieved such a performance above all.
Because the Dallas star had already achieved his triple-double, with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, at halftime! It's the first time in his career that he's gone this fast and it's the first time in history that a player has compiled a triple-double with 25 points in a half.
A 7th triple-double at 40 points or more
“It’s pretty crazy”delivers Luka Doncic, who was aware that he could complete a triple-double before the break, to ESPN. “I don’t know what to say, really. We all know who Larry Bird is, so it's bound to be special. »
Tim Hardaway Jr. goes even further. “I thought he was going to finish with 50 points, 20 rebounds and 20 assists. He set the tone, shoot after shoot”says the shooter.
No Wilt Chamberlain statistics for the Slovenian in the end since the scenario of the match and the easy success of the Mavericks will allow him to breathe. Luka Doncic only played 32 minutes, and none in the last quarter.
