Slovenian star Luka Doncic put on a performance never before seen in an NBA game as the Dallas Mavericks earned a 126-121 overtime win over the New York Knicks after a remarkable comeback on Tuesday night.

Doncic posted first 60-point game in Dallas franchise history and also makes 21 rebounds and 10 assists. He became the first NBA player this season to score at least 60 points.

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.

Quentin Grimes finished with a career-high 33 points and Dallas native Julius Randle had 29 points and 18 rebounds for the Knicks, who lost a fourth consecutive game coming off an eight-game winning streak, their longest in almost nine years.
