Luka Doncic after 60-point game: 'I need a recovery beer'
Only the second player to combine 60 points with a triple-double, setting a new franchise record in points, confusing a game-tying to a game-winning shot, and much more in a day’s work for Luka Doncic. “I’m tired as hell. I need a recovery beer,” was the immediate reaction of the Slovenian superstar packing a wide smile coming off the Dallas Mavericks pulling off an overtime win versus the New York Knicks at American Airlines Center Tuesday. He logged his seventh triple-double in the 2022-23 NBA Regular Season.

You know what’s crazy about that Luka performance? It’s not like he just caught fire & hit nine 3s. He was methodical. Sliced up the Knicks, who I actually thought guarded him OK on a bunch of those possessions. When the great ones are in the zone, there’s nothing you can do. – 11:21 PM

Spencer Dinwiddie giving Luka a little help and the Mavericks have cut the gap to 99-95 with 6:42 to play. Luka with 39 and 12 rebounds. – 10:25 PM

Mavericks got some work to do. They are down 92-82 going into the fourth quarter. Grimes with 27, Randle with 23 and 12 for the Knicks. Luka has 35. But the bench is thin. Bertans finally got five points late in the third, four more than the reserves had in the first half. – 10:15 PM

It’s a battle between Luka Doncic and Immanuel Quickley as Knicks and Mavs head to the 4th. Luka has 35 points and is responsible for 50 of the Mavericks’ 80 points so far. Quickley has 10 points but his 13 assists have created 36 points for the Knicks — that’s 46 of their 90 pts – 10:12 PM

Luka Doncic might need to drop 50 again for the Mavs to win tonight … and he also might be up for it.
32 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3FG) in 25 mins with about 5 mins left in Q3. – 10:01 PM

Mavs have struggled all year w/ oppwho don’t have their best players available. So it is w/NY which is w/o Brunson, & Barrett was lost 2:00 into the game. NY 63-55 at half. Randle 16-10, Grimes 15. Luka 22-6-4.. 18th 20 pt half of the season. Wood 14-7. 2nd half soon @971thefreak – 9:39 PM

Knicks respond to all Dallas challenges in that first half and escape with a 63-55 lead. Randle with 16, Grimes with 15. Luka has 22, Wood 14 for Mavs, who are 7-of-25 from 3-point land. – 9:33 PM

Two three-pointers by Christian Wood and the Mavericks have cut the Knicks’ lead to 39-38 with 7:51 left in the half. Winning the non-Luka minutes is important, Jason Kidd said pregame that he wants to not play Luka the entire 2nd half, as has happened a couple of times recently. – 9:17 PM

Luka executes the two-for-one perfectly at the end of the first quarter. He hits a quick-trigger three, Knicks turn it over and then gets to the rim for a layup with 1 second left. Mavs only down 30-28 after 12 minutes. Luka with 16. – 9:06 PM

Tremendous defensive possession from Grimes. Sticks with Doncic, doesn’t foul him when he goes up, contests a would-be shot enough that Doncic has to kick to the corner, then he comes to the block to help and when the corner shooter drives, he goes verticality & alters the layup. – 8:48 PM

Mavs running a bigger starting lineup tonight vs. Knicks: Luka Doncic, Spencer Dinwiddie, Tim Hardaway Jr., Christian Wood, Dwight Powell.
That’s the same 5 that opened dominant Q3 vs. Lakers. – 8:31 PM

More on this storyline
Zach LaVine re-signed with the Chicago Bulls this past offseason on a five-year, $215 million, but his future with the franchise is uncertain given their struggles this season. The Dallas Mavericks are a team who could potentially have interest in LaVine given their motivation to pair a second star with Luka Doncic. “I just know that there are fans of him that hold prominent positions within the Mavericks,” said Tim MacMahon on the Lowe Post podcast. “Again, I’m not sitting here and telling you there’s some great consensus. I think there’s enough fans of him where I wouldn’t totally rule it out.” -via RealGM / December 28, 2022
In the Mavericks’ 126-121 win Tuesday, Doncic tallied a career-high 60 points and added 21 rebounds and 10 assists in 47 minutes to compile the most impressive, dominant and grueling triple-double of his career. And NBA history. While shattering Dirk Nowitzki’s single-game franchise scoring record (53 points), Doncic became the first player to ever record a 60-point, 20-rebound triple-double. He topped Wilt Chamberlain (twice) and Elgin Baylor, the only to compile 50-point, 20-rebound triple-doubles before him. -via Dallas Morning News / December 28, 2022
