38-year-old LeBron James, who has surpassed the legendary Kobe Bryant in his 18th Christmas Big Match, and Doncic, a 23-year-old new engine, fought fiercely throughout the match.
When James took the lead by scoring 18 points in the first half, Dallas, with Doncic at the forefront, blew fire in the third quarter.
After subtly deceiving James, Doncic led the team's first comeback with a perfect assist, then scored one after another as if playing cooperative defense, breaking the opponent's will to pursue.
Dallas scored 51 points in the third quarter alone, setting a new club record and beating the Los Angeles Lakers.
Luka Doncic, the top scorer called 'Hallelujah' by combining 'Hallelujah' and his name 'Luca', scored 32 points and became the main character of Christmas, while James scored 38 points and shone alone even in defeat.
Boston's Tatum, second in scoring, scored 41 points and beat Milwaukee with Antetokounmpo, and last season's MVP Yokichi also recorded a triple-double with 41 points and gave a hot Christmas present.
