Mavericks' Luka Doncic second-fastest to 50 triple-doubles

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic beat Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson to the 50 triple-double milestone by a game.

Doncic's 33-point, 12-rebound, 11-assist performance in Friday's 127-99 win over the Denver Nuggets made him the 10th player in NBA history to record 50 career triple-doubles.

Doncic accomplished the feat in his 278th career game, one fewer than it took Johnson. Only Oscar Robertson (111) needed fewer games to get 50 triple-doubles.

It was also the 25th time that Doncic has scored at least 30 points in a triple-double.
