In the early hours of Wednesday Luka Doncic equaled a record that remained intact in six decades. The Slovenian player chained seven games of more than 30 points to start the season replicating a feat of the times of Wilt Chamberlain. The legendary center achieved it in 1959 and 1962, with Jack Twyman being the only one to accompany both of them in said feat.
