Luka Doncic was an unstoppable force on Tuesday night.
With the Dallas Mavericks entering Tuesday’s matchup with the Golden State Warriors a game under .500, Doncic put the team on his back, scoring 41 points and adding 12 rebounds, 12 assists, four steals and a block en route to a 116-113 Mavs victory.
The game went down to the wire, too, with Dallas prevailing after Klay Thompson was off the mark on a potential buzzer-beater to tie the game.
Doncic was the main story, however, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to record at least eight 40-point triple-doubles and the second-most before turning 25, trailing just Oscar Robertson.
The performance coming against Steph Curry and the Warriors is also noteworthy. Per ESPN Stats and Info, Doncic has averaged 32 points per game in 15 career games against Curry, which is the most of any player in the NBA.
Naturally, Doncic’s performance grabbed everyone’s attention on social media:
