In the fifth game of the NBA playoffs’ first round between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas’ point guard Luka Doncic delivered an outstanding performance, scoring 35 points and leading his team to a resounding 123-93 victory.
Doncic’s exceptional display on the court not only secured a crucial win for the Mavericks but also etched his name in the annals of NBA history. At just 25 years old, the Slovenian basketball prodigy became only the fifth player in the league’s history to record 30 or more points in 20 playoff games or more.
Joining an elite cohort of NBA luminaries, Doncic’s achievement places him alongside basketball legends LeBron James (35 playoff games with 30 or more points), Kevin Durant (33), Kobe Bryant (32), and Jason Tatum (24).
