Luka Doncic becomes the first player after Wilt Chamberlain to record 96+ points over a 2-game span

Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic has shown some exceptional gameplay in the last two match-ups of the Mavs against the LA Clippers. On Saturday night, Luka showed his magic to make the Clippers struggle in the game, he scored 45 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists but it was insufficient to bring the win for the team.

In this rematch, Luka was unstoppable just like his previous game where he scored his career-high of 51 points on 10th Feb against the same LA-based franchise. In both the game the Clippers’ defense was seen as useless whenever the Mavs MVP attacked them.

It was a frustrating match for the Clippers as they were unable to stop the Doncic rampage, but they somehow still managed to defeat them in the second game by 99-97.

“I just want to win. I don’t care if he (Luka) had 90,” LA coach Tyronn Lue said. “Hats off to him for playing great, but I thought our team did a hell of a job. We know he can dominate the game with his passing and his scoring. We wanted to try to limit him to being a scorer, and he did it again, unfortunately, but we were able to weather the storm.”

The Mavs all-star also made a record of making back-to-back 45-point games, after Stephen Curry recorded it last season with 96+ points over a two game-span.

“Sometimes they double me, specially in the fourth quarter and somebody else makes shots,” Doncic said. “But today they let me go one-on-one. The first three quarters, I should have been way more aggressive than I was.”

The Maverick have now won the four games out of the six game at home in all these winning game Luka has been marvelous and has averaged 36.7 PPG, 10 RPG and 10.2 APG. the franchise is currently in the fifth seed of the western conference with the record of 33-24 and they are surely looking to move up before the all-star week.
