Luka Doncic might have lost today but his 45-point effort means he is now tied with Michael Jordan for the most points in NBA Playoff history.

When we say Luka Doncic might be the future goat, we mean it. He is carrying a very sub-par Dallas Mavericks into unknown territory and his performances just keep getting better.
45 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists, that is nothing short of spectacular. Luka Magic is now tied with MJ for the highest PPG in playoff history.

The Mavericks, however, are giving Luka no help. In today’s game, the Phoenix Suns coasted to victory.
Luka Doncic is shattering the record books!
It is not just tying Michael Jordan but also breaking tons of other records that has made Luka legendary.
And so the legend of Luka continues… https://t.co/hz8CqzrjVM

He is going about his business, getting buckets, dishing dimes, and matching every incredible record in NBA Playoff history.

How many more records will he break? Can he lead the Dallas Mavericks to a surprise upset in this series? We’ll have to be patient and watch. One thing is certain, Luka will continue to write himself into the history books.
