The Dallas Mavericks’ superstar Luka Doncic saw his impressive triple-double streak end in a 109-99 win over the Golden State Warriors. Doncic was forced to exit the game halfway through the fourth quarter due to a hamstring issue and finished the night with 21 points, nine rebounds, and three assists.
Entering the Warriors’ game, Doncic was on a tear that saw him notch a triple-double in seven consecutive games and set a pair of NBA records. He set the record for most consecutive triple-doubles with at least 30 points (six) and most consecutive triple-doubles with 35 points (five).
“He just gave me a signal that his hamstring was tight, so we took him out,” said Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd after the game.
Doncic is currently leading the league with 34.3 points per game while also averaging 9.0 rebounds and 9.8 assists. The Mavs are currently eight in the West and have won their last four games.
While Doncic wasn’t able to keep his streak going, another Mavs player is still keeping his alive. Daniel Gafford continued his streak of consecutive field goals made against the Warriors, going five out of five from the floor. Gafford has now made 33 field goals in the past five games, pulling closer to Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record of 35.
