Home team Houston's coach Stephen Silas dejectedly stated after the match that it was "simply too much Luka".
The Slovenian superstar did it all and then some as Dallas beat Houston 112-106 last night.
Lob passes, rebounds, deep three-pointers, dunks, dribbles.
It was a one-man show by Doncic, who put up a season-best 50 points, just one point shy of tying the personal best of 51 points set in February of this year.
Add to that ten assists and eight rebounds.
- Luka is Luka.
He is the best player in the whole world.
He showed that tonight and he carried our offense.
I don't know what else you can say about him, says Dallas coach Jason Kidd.
"Made everything difficult for him"
Home team coach Stephen Silas sighed:
- I don't think he got a single easy end.
We made every finish difficult for him, but he showed his greatness.
That's what Luka usually does.
The score was tied at 94 with seven and a half minutes remaining.
Then Dallas pulled away with 11-3 and took an eight-point lead.
Among other things, through a three-pointer from Doncic, who directed a kiss towards the stands afterwards.
The Mavericks are in eighth place in the Western Conference after 33 games played.
