Luka scored his 700th playoff point on Thursday night, and he was the third-fastest player in terms of games played to reach that mark behind only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.

Doncic also broke Dirk Nowitzki’s franchise record by producing his sixth 30-point, ten-rebound, five-assist postseason game. According to ESPN’s Stats and Info, it took the Mavericks GOAT 145 postseason games to get five, but Doncic produced six in 22 contests.

Doncic was just the fifth player in NBA history to produce 33-11-8 in a playoff game, and he far and away holds the record for points per game in elimination contests by averaging 39.0. The 23-year-old takes his game to another level on the biggest stages, and he did that again on May 12.

It was an incredible performance from Luka Doncic, and the Dallas Mavericks will need another one if they are going to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The Mavs have not won in Phoenix since 2019, but they plan on changing that on Sunday. Dallas must bring its defense and shooting on top of a monster performance from Luka if they are going to pull the upset. Do not miss it.
