Basketball-Reference: Yesterday was Luka Doncic’s 2nd triple-double with 15+ assists and 15+ rebounds. He’s the 8th player to have multiple games like that in our database @Dallas Mavericks @Luka Doncic pic.twitter.com/xbaobOcL3O
Doncic had 36 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists to post the 29th triple-double of his career, breaking a tie with Michael Jordan to move into 15th on the league’s all-time list. However, Doncic blamed himself for the loss, suggesting that he got caught up with his statistics after a spectacular first half. “The second half, I played terrible,” Doncic said. “That’s on me, that game. I was being selfish a little bit because I had 30 points in the first half. That wasn’t me in the second half. I’ve got to do way better in the second half. That’s just on me. I’ve got to do way better.”
Doncic became only the fourth player in NBA history to record at least 35 points, 15 rebounds and 15 assists in a game and the youngest to do so. Oscar Robertson had five such performances. Wilt Chamberlain and James Harden each had one. “The stats are spectacular,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said. “I mean, 36, 16 and 15, it’s phenomenal, but without a win, he won’t be happy with it, either. Right now, we’re entering the most difficult seven days of scheduling in Mavericks history. Individual stats are impressive, but we’re in the business of trying to win games.”
Brad Townsend: Doncic says he was being “too selfish. That wasn’t me in the second half, taking some shots I shouldn’t have been taking.” Geez. The guy had 15 assists.
Tim MacMahon: Luka Doncic: “I played terrible in the second half.”
Justin Kubatko: Luka Doncic has 15 career 30-point triple-doubles, just one fewer than all other players in NBA history combined before their 22nd birthday. It’s the 29th triple-double of Doncic’s career, passing Michael Jordan and tying Grant Hill for 15th on the NBA’s all-time list.
