Predvođeni Lukom Dončićem, Mavericksi su pobijedili Clipperse u prvoj utakmici doigravanja NBA lige, a rekordi koje je mladi Slovenac poskidao ostavljaju bez daha.

Dončiću je ovo bila tek sedma utakmica NBA doigravanja u karijeri, ali i već treći triple-double u ključnom dijelu sezone. Tako je postao prvi igrač u NBA povijesti koji je ostvario toliko triple-double učinaka u prvih sedam utakmica doigravanja.

Nijedan igrač Dallasa u povijesti nema nijednu triple-double utakmicu u doigravanju!

Ujedno je postao tek drugi igrač koji ima tri triple-doublea u doigravanju prije navršene 23. godine. Drugi je Magic Johnson.

Naposlijetku, Dončić je sada jedan od samo devet igrača koji su imali više od jedne triple-double utakmice s 30 koševa u play-offu.

Luka Dončić became only the ninth player in @NBA history to record multiple postseason 30-point triple-doubles.

Time je stao uz bok samo LeBronu Jamesu, Oscaru Robertsonu, Russellu Westbrooku, Charlesu Barkleyju, Jimmyju Butleru, Wiltu Chamberlainu, Stephu Curryju i Jamesu Hardenu.
