Luka Doncic made history in the NBA by achieving six consecutive 30-point triple-doubles as the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Detroit Pistons 142-124. Doncic, 25, surpassed Russell Westbrook’s previous record of five in a row from 2017 with a stellar performance of 39 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd praised Doncic’s exceptional level of play. The Mavericks claimed their second consecutive victory following a three-game losing streak, bringing their record to 36-28 behind the New Orleans Pelicans in the Western Conference Southwest division. The Denver Nuggets secured a 142-121 victory over the Utah Jazz with Jamal Murray scoring 37 points and Nikola Jokic adding 26.

The Nuggets improved to 44-20, tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the second seed in the Western Conference. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks with D’Angelo Russell leading the way. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics bounced back from two straight losses by defeating the Phoenix Suns 117-107 behind Jayson Tatum’s 29 points and Jaylen Brown’s 27 points. The San Antonio Spurs won 126-113 against the Golden State Warriors, who played without Stephen Curry. Klay Thompson scored 27 points off the bench for the Warriors, but it was not enough as they suffered consecutive defeats for the first time since January. Both Curry and the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama were sidelined with right ankle injuries.
