Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic triple-doubles against the Kings

Dallas Mavericks star rookie Luka Doncic made it back-to-back triple-doubles as the Mavs hosted the Sacramento Kings on March 26.

Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Doncic can not be stopped. The 20-year-old is having a rookie season for the ages. Doncic continues to impress every game and gives Mavs fans hope about the future with him leading the charge.

The Mavericks hosted the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday evening. That meant matching up against former Mav Harrison Barnes.

Dallas was coming off a blowout win against the defending champion Golden State Warriors that saw Luka produce 23 points, 11 rebounds, and ten assists for a triple-double. He had another massive night in store against the Kings.

Luka Doncic had his seventh triple-double of the season on March 26. He produced 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists in 36 minutes on Tuesday. Doncic failed to make any of his nine 3-point attempts but hit ten of 11 from the free throw line. The foul shooting was positive given his struggles this season. Luka can shoot too well to struggle from the charity stripe.

The game ended on a sour note for the Mavericks. They blew a late eight-point lead to fall to the Kings 125-121 on their home court. Dallas has won just one of their last 12 games and continues to struggle down the stretch.

Anytime you tied Hall of Famer Magic Johnson that is special. Doncic is on a historic pace when it comes to triple-doubles that is unlikely to stop. The 20-year-old has special passing ability. Luka can rebound well because of his height and high basketball IQ. The scoring will never be an issue as Doncic is averaging over 21 points per game as a rookie.
