Luka Doncic makes history as Dallas Mavericks fall to Trail Blazers

Luka set a Mavericks franchise record on Valentine’s Day. He scored 25 or more points for the 14th consecutive game, which topped Dirk Nowitzki and Mark Aguirre who each had 13 straight. The 21-year-old is no stranger to setting records and making history.

Doncic had his 11th 30-point game of the season and 46th of his young career. He sits third in NBA history in 30-point games before turning 22 years old trailing on LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

Luka pushed it over 40 on Sunday. See the history he made there below.

Luka Dončić now the most points by a player in consecutive games in franchise history.
