Luka Doncic has 60-21-10 triple-double to rally Mavs to OT win

play

Luka Doncic had a franchise-record 60 points, 21 rebound and 10 assists in a historic triple-double, including the tying basket off his intentionally missed free throw to force overtime, as the Dallas Mavericks rallied for a wild 126- 121 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday.

Dallas was down nine with 33 seconds left in regulation before getting even in a back-and-forth sequence capped by Doncic missing a free throw on purpose and hitting a jumper for a 115-115 tie with 1 second left.

It was the first 60 point game in Dallas history and the first 60-20 10 game in NBA history. He has had seven triple-doubles of the year.

The Mavericks are over.500 for the first time this season with a fourth victory.

After an eight-game winning streak, the Knicks have lost four in a row and Dallas native Julius Randle had 29 points and 18 rebound.

What would have been his return to Dallas were it not for a hip injury that prevented him from playing.

Spencer Dinwiddie, who scored 25 points, hit a 3-pointer after Miles McBride missed a free throw.

With 7.7 seconds to go, McBride made two free throws for a 115-112 lead, but Doncic couldn't get a shot off before the game ended.

Dallas kept the ball alive after the Mavericks inserted seldom-used center JaVale McGee for the rebound. He hit the 11-foot jumper after the ball bounced to him.

Dallas was in the lead for less than a minute of overtime. The Mavs took the lead for good with two free throws from Doncic.

The Knicks' point guard missed his first game of the season in Dallas, where he spent his first four seasons before signing with the Knicks.

The Mavericks defeated the former team of the two-time NCAA champion in New York in December.
