Luka Doncic notched his fifth triple-double of the season and led the Dallas Mavericks to a 116-113 win over the NBA champions Golden State Warriors.
In a replay of last season’s Western Conference finals, he was the top scorer with 41 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists.
It is the Slovenian’s 51st career triple-double.
“It’s getting boring,” joked Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd. “I mean, let’s see something else. Maybe with the left hand.”
Stephen Curry led the Warriors by 32 points, but teammate Klay Thompson missed a three-pointer that would have leveled the game with 2.6 seconds left.
On Tuesday night, New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle celebrated his 28th birthday with a season-high 36 points as his team clinched a 140-110 win over the Detroit Pistons.
The Los Angeles Clippers — without their injured star player Damian Lillard — came from behind to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 118-112, with Norman Powell leading the Clippers with 32 points from the bench.
