SACRAMENTO – Luka Doncic continues to reach such rarefied air that even his coach was left shaking his head in disbelief after the second-year point guard destroyed the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
In putting his proverbial stamp on this game and showing why he is a legitimate candidate to win this year’s Most Valuable Player award, Doncic torched the Kings for 25 points, 15 rebounds and a career-high 17 assists while pacing the Mavs to a 127-123 victory at Golden 1 Center. It was the 12th triple-double of the season for Doncic and the 20th of his brief career.
