Doncic’s 37 points not enough as Jazz beat Mavericks with late dunk

The 23-year-0old Slovenian joined James Harden as the only two players to record a 60-point triple-double. It’s also the first-ever 60/20/10 game in NBA history.

Dallas had trailed by 9 points with 26.8 seconds remaining. As part of a dramatic finale, Doncic forced overtime by deliberately missing a free-throw and collected the rebound to tie the scores at 115-115 with 1 second remaining.

“I’m tired as hell” Doncic said after the match.
