The realm of NBA history had a new entrant in Luka Doncic after he did something no one was ever able to do before. Despite being a guard, the 23-year-old has put up some monster triple-doubles throughout his career. However, facing off against a relatively hit New York Knicks, Doncic shouldered the pressure in a manner probably no one saw coming. The American Airlines Center witnessed  Doncic go off for the first-ever 60-point, 21-rebound, and 10-assist triple-double in NBA history. It’s safe to say, his peers too were left speechless.

Up until nine seconds left in regulation, the Knicks held command over the Dallas Mavericks. Despite missing out on the crucial scoring of RJ Barrett, the Knicks were well in place to extend their win streak on the road. It looked like another Luka Doncic masterclass would end up in a losing effort. However, the entire arena woke up in those final moments.

With a rally that the Knicks simply couldn’t handle, the 2011 champions managed to tie the game. From there on out, ‘Luka Magic’ would handle business by dropping a career-high 60 points in the nail-biting finish. In awe of his history-making night, Kevin Durant and several other NBA superstars gave the three-time All-Star high praise on social media.

Doncic tonight showed grit and fight, arguably which Dallas desperately needed to ever believe in overcoming the Knicks. A video game-like display meant Doncic hit his career-high stats. Furthermore, Doncic turned the ball over just three times in the entire game. Perhaps even more shockingly, in an era of three-point shooting, Doncic hit only two threes in his galactic scoring night.

Despite breaking a franchise record, perhaps Doncic’s most important score came in the final seconds of regulation time. A play that many fail to execute, Doncic deliberately missed his free throw and scored off the eventual rebound to tie the game with 1 second to go.
