The 23-year-old All-Star could hold that title some day.<\/p>\n \u201cIt'll be another statue in Dallas,\u201d NBA Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevinGarnett5KG\/status\/1607948315454492675<\/a><\/p>\n Kyle Kuzma included the extra rebound while calling Doncic's numbers \u201cINSANE!!!!!!!\u201d.<\/p>\n Brooklyn star Kevin Durant felt the need for an expletive in comparing Doncic's night to video-game numbers.<\/p>\n Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he'd never see another night like it, and teammate Christian Wood, whose three-pointer sparked the rally from nine points down in the final 30 seconds of regulation, said he was sending a \u201cGOAT\u201d to Doncic's farm in his native Slovenia.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody is still in shock,\u201d coach Jason Kidd said after the game.<\/p>\n "The history of the game is written by the players and it was written again tonight for a player \u2014 Luka \u2014 doing something that\u2019s never been done before.\u201d<\/p>\n After grabbing the loose ball on a rebound and shooting the three-metre jumper in one motion to level the scores in regulation, the 23-year-old danced around while waving his arms as the thinned-out crowd expecting a loss celebrated wildly.<\/p>\n It was 115-115 with 1.0 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/kylekuzma\/status\/1607953741403103236<\/a><\/p>\n "A lot of people asked me about this back in the locker room, and I said I thought we won it," Doncic said.<\/p>\n "That's why I went to the crowd like this. I thought we won the game, and then I see it's tied. I was like, 'oof'."<\/p>\n Dallas was down nine with 33 seconds left in regulation before getting even in a back-and-forth sequence capped by Doncic grazing the rim and hitting the backboard with the intentional miss.<\/p>\n The young Slovenian had his seventh triple-double and the league's highest-scoring performance of the season.<\/p>\n The Mavericks moved three games over .500 with a fourth consecutive victory, both marks matching their season bests.<\/p>\n \ufeffFor a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
