Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic celebrates after a made basket during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Denver Nuggets, Friday, Nov. 18, 2022, in Dallas. Against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, Luka Doncic and the Mavericks accomplished what many might’ve thought most improbable just before tipoff.
Doncic didn’t know about the benchmark — or that he’d even gotten close before his fourth triple-double of the season — until vice president of basketball communications Scott Tomlin informed him before the postgame interview.Their superstar’s history fueled one of the Mavericks’ steadiest overall performances in a season full of blown double-digit leads, letdowns against shorthanded foes and clutch-time nerves.
Mavericks fans joined Doncic’s displeasure when Murray also tested positive for COVID-19 and Gordon was ruled out with a non-COVID illness because Dallas has floundered this season against opponents missing their best players. He finished 11 of 22 from the floor and grabbed his 10th rebound — a miss from Slovenian national teammate Vlakto Cancar — with 10:55 remaining in the game to complete triple-double No. 50.
