SAN FRANCISCO - Luka Doncic reeled off a triple-double with 45 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds to spark the Dallas Mavericks to a 143-133 win over the Golden State Warriors in a record-shattering National Basketball Association (NBA) clash on Dec. 15.
The Mavericks and Warriors combined for an NBA single-game record of 48 treys, breaking the old mark by four, with Golden State sinking 27 of 54 shots from beyond the arc and Dallas hitting 21 of 41 three-point attempts at Chase Centre.
"No team could miss. They had 18 threes at halftime and we were still up, which is insane. Felt like nobody could miss. It was a fun game. Lot of makes. But it was a physical game too," Doncic said.
Doncic made 16 of 23 shots from the floor, including six of 11 three-pointers, and added three steals and two blocked shots to his ninth career 40-point triple-double.
"The guy never ceases to amaze me. He never rushes, plays at his own pace. Had 45 points easy as pie; he made it look like," said teammate Klay Thompson.
