DETROIT (AP) — Luka Doncic became the first NBA player to record six consecutive 30-point triple-doubles as the Dallas Mavericks pulled away in the second half and beat the Detroit Pistons 142-124 on Saturday night.
Doncic finished with 39 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, eclipsing Russell Westbrook's mark of five straight 30-point triple-doubles. He also extended his own record with a fifth straight 35-point triple-double.
“That just shows what level he's playing on right now,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. “He knows he can score the ball, and he's also able to find his teammates and lastly, he's able to rebound the ball.”
Kyrie Irving added 21 points for Dallas, which has won two in a row after a three-game losing streak.
