Luka lets loose with record haul

Luka Doncic punctuated a historic triple-double by making the tie-breaking shot with 1:57 left in overtime Tuesday and leading the Dallas Mavericks past the Sacramento Kings, 114-110.

Doncic was sensational, finishing with 34 points, a career-high 20 rebounds and 12 assists. At 21 years, 158 days, he became the youngest player to finish a game with 30 or more points, 20 or more rebounds and 10 or more assists, shattering Oscar Robertson's previous mark of 23 years, 12 days.

"We needed that," Doncic said. "We played, I think, one of the worst games ever and we won. We didn't play good. We still hang in there, help each other, never give up. I'm proud of the win."

Kristaps Porzingis added 22 points and seven rebounds before fouling out late in regulation.

It was the Mavs' first victory since arriving at Walt Disney World and allowed them to remain the only NBA team to avoid three straight losses this season.

De'Aaron Fox scored 28 points and Buddy Hield had 21, but the Kings could not close out a game they controlled almost from the opening tip until the end of regulation.

"I thought we settled too much down the stretch instead of trying to put pressure on the rim," Sacramento coach Luke Walton said.

Dallas scored the final six points in regulation to force overtime, then tied the score again at 102 when Tim Hardaway Jr. made three free throws with 3:10 to play.

Doncic broke the tie with a short basket and the Mavs scored the next five points and never trailed again.

"I believe we had seven stops in a row to end regulation, which was huge," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "It was a guts win."

Game changer

Walton thought the biggest factor at the end of regulation was the loss of Richaun Holmes. He had eight points and 12 rebounds before leaving for the final time with 1:52 left in regulation.

"When Richaun fouled out, that hurt," Walton said. "We got a little stagnant out there. We got some clean looks. We didn't make many of them."

They said it

Mavericks: "I just know that the last game I laid a goose egg and I know I'm better than that as a player," Hardaway said. "I just wanted to come out here a little more aggressive, not do too much, but play the way I'm supposed to play."

Kings: "All game, like, they kept going to the foul line," Walton said. "I've never seen a 50-free-throw game before."
