“Luka Doncic breaks his own franchise record for the most points scored over a two-game span”: The Mavs MVP becomes the first player since Stephen Curry with 96+ points recorded in a two-game span

Luka Doncic erupts for 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists in the Mavericks’ tough 99-97 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Luka Doncic and his love for torching up the Los Angeles Clippers continue. Just a few days after exploding for a career-high 51 points against the LA-based team, the Slovenian youngster erupted for a huge 45-point performance.

In the action-packed Clippers-Mavs contest, Doncic stuffed the stat sheet with 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists.

Grabbing the win despite Doncic’s scoring rampage, LAC coach Ty Lue tipped his hats to Luka.

“I just want to win. I don’t care if he (Luka) had 90,” LA coach Tyronn Lue said. “Hats off to him for playing great, but I thought our team did a hell of a job. We know he can dominate the game with his passing and his scoring. We wanted to try to limit him to being a scorer, and he did it again, unfortunately, but we were able to weather the storm.”

Luka Doncic records 96 points, 24 rebounds, and 14 assists in his last 2 games

Luka Doncic becomes the first player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1967 to record 96+ points over a 2-game span with both games coming against the same opponent.

Not only does Doncic become the first Maverick to record back-to-back 45-point games, but he also becomes the first player since Stephen Curry last year with 96+ points over a two game-span.

The Mavs have now clinched 4 victories from their 6-game homestand. During this span, Luka has been averaging a staggering 36.7/10/10.2.

Currently, Dallas has an impressive 33-24 record. Even though the team can’t now rise up the standings before the All-Star break. However, they’ll surely hope to grab wins at Miami and then New Orleans, putting pressure on the 4th seeded Utah Jazz.
