presentation.
At the same time as Danny Abedia's return game against Philadelphia, seven more games were played tonight (between Tuesday and Wednesday) in the NBA, with Luka Doncic in the spotlight, above all, who provided another unforgettable performance on the way to a tremendous victory for Dallas against New York.
Dallas Mavericks (19:16) - New York Knicks (18:17) 121:126 (after overtime)
We're used to seeing Luka Doncic plays, even huge plays, but tonight's will probably go down in the history books as one of the greatest.
Doncic did everything he wanted against the Knicks, and finished with the following incredible line: 60 points (21 of 31 from the field, 2 of 6 from three, 16 of 22 from the free throw line), 21 rebounds, and 10 assists.
Where does Doncic stand in relation to history?
The Slovenian broke his previous career record (51) and Dirk Nowitzki's club record (53) and became the first in the history of the best league in the world to record a triple double of 60+ points and 20+ rebounds.
But the show didn't just end with the statistical line.
With 33 seconds to go, the Knicks were up by 9 (!), but the Mavericks somehow believed it could be done, and did it.
Dallas was down to just three, and with four seconds to go, the Slovenian hit the first free throw, missed the second on purpose and scored a crazy basket that forced overtime, where Dallas came away with a win that won't be forgotten for a long time.
We are in the presence of greatness 🪄@ModeloUSA |

Orlando (22:13) - Los Angeles Lakers (20:14) 129:110
The Lakers stopped the drift, and after four consecutive losses recovered against the Magic thanks to a good performance by LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.
LeBron finished the night with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Westbrook added a triple double of 15 points, 13 assists and 13 rebounds.
At the break, the Lakers were ahead 55:65, and LeBron's ten points in the paint in the last quarter sealed the deal.
On the losing side, Markel Foltz finished with 16 points.
Got it done.
