Dallas 136 – Milwaukee 132
The point guard, with 34 points, 19 assists and 14 rebounds, surpasses the great star of the Bucks (34 points, 13 rebounds, five blocks).
Doncic looks for the pass against Antetokounmpo and Matthews.
A few hours after the NBA chose its three MVP candidates, Luka Doncic he took off with another display in Dallas’ triumph over the Bucks (136-132). The point guard signed 34 points, 19 assists and 14 rebounds for his team’s victory in overtime against one of the ring candidates, led by Giannis Antetokoumpo (34 points, 13 rebounds, five blocks).
The seventeenth triple-double of the season, with which he confirms his dominance in this chapter of the game, was a complete blow to Doncic. Their immense talent seems destined to guide the future of the league, just as they do now. LeBron James, James Harden and Antetokoumpo himself, the trio of chosen to win the award for the best of the year.
“His game improves every hour, every day,” he advanced Rick Carlisle, a Mavericks technician. “What impresses me the most is his leadership ability. Today he was amazingly calm and was able to get his teammates to play during some really difficult stretches,” developed his coach.
“I play shots that I shouldn’t”
One of the decisive moments of the night for the ’77’ was his assistance for the triple of Maxi Kleber, with which Dallas took a definitive step towards victory (133-128). Once again, after a dunk from Antetokoumpo, Doncic ran down the court to score his last basket with five seconds to go and keep the advantage that would be definitive.
“I feel fresh and just try to make the best decision,” stressed Doncic, who in his almost two years in the league had never made so many basket passes (19). However, his constant eagerness to learn continues to force him to autoctica. “Sometimes I play shots that I should not,” he conceded after his third triple-double in the five games played in the Disney World bubble.
“He is one of the most talented players I have ever faced,” admitted Antetokounmpo, who had already shared a dressing room with Doncic during the last All-Star in Chicago. “He makes his whole team better and he also continues his progression,” underlined the man who could lead the Bucks into the ring almost half a century after Lew Alcindor.
