Dallas charge Luka Dončić $33.5 million today ” due to suspicious issues..
Dallas Mavericks All-Star Luka Dončić became the first player in NBA history to record a 35+ point triple-double in four straight games as his side outlasted the Miami Heat, 114-108, on Thursday.
Dončić posted 35 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to earn a hard-fought Dallas victory in front of their home crowd. The 25-year-old shot 50% from the floor during the game and made seven of his 13 three-point attempts as the Mavs battled back from a double-digit deficit in the first quarter.
While the impressive stat line is an added bonus, Dončić and the Mavericks will draw most of their satisfaction from being able to get back in the win column.
Despite Dončić’s stat sheet heroics across the previous three games against the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and the Indiana Pacers, Dallas was on the losing side in each of those matches.
Thursday’s victory snapped the skid and moved the Mavs to 35-28 on the season.
“It’s great, especially when it comes with a win,” Dončić said after the game.
“That’s all that matters right now.”
The Slovenian superstar also recorded his fifth straight game with a 30+ point triple-double, tying a record set by Russell Westbrook while playing for the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2017.
