After welcoming his daughter Gabriela, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic is back on the NBA court. And he did it with a double energy against the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight.
Doncic scored 36 points with a 50% shooting percentage from the field, accompanied by 15 rebounds, 18 assists, 2 steals and 2 stoppages. This is his 59th career triple-double, which brings him tied with Larry Bird for 9th on the NBA’s all-time list.
Luka also joined the elite comand second player in NBA history to make multiple 35-15-15 games, a feat previously accomplished only by the legendary Oscar Robertson, as reported by ESPN Stats and Info.

Despite Luka Doncic’s tremendous effort and the Mavs’ historic comeback, the game ended in a narrow 126-120 loss to Oklahoma City.
The Mavericks orchestrated an incredible 30-0 run in the fourth quarter, erasing a 24-point deficit and taking a 117-111 lead with only 4:18 to go. Unfortunately, this effort paid off in terms of energy and they eventually lost the match to the Oklahoma lineup.
