“Luka Doncic really got more triple-doubles than NBA franchises!”: Absurd stat shows how at 22 years of age the Mavs MVP is 10th all-time in triple-doubles with more such performances than 8 franchises

Luka Doncic dropped a season-high 41 points, along with 14 rebounds and 7 assists to lead the Mavericks to a 102-98 win over the Raptors.

Just a day after recording his historic 41st career triple-double, Luka Doncic has managed to etch his name in Dallas Mavericks’ history books yet again. Leading the Mavericks to their 4th straight win, as they defeat the Raptors by 4 points, it was the Slovenian youngster who put on a show for 19,000+ fans in attendance at the American Airlines Center, and millions around the world who had their eyes glued to the television.  

In the 42 minutes of game-time, Luka managed to record a new season-high of 41 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists, while shooting the ball at a highly-efficient 54.2/40/91.7 split.

The 6-foot-7 All-Star has now recorded his 3rd career 40+ point, 10+ rebounds, and 5+ assists game, which is the most in Dallas Mavericks history. And by recording his 30th 30/10/7 game of his career, Doncic now becomes the 11th player in history to do so.
