The Dallas Mavericks were up against the Utah Jazz at American Airlines Center on December 7, and what a game it was. The No. 4 seed in the Western Conference let loose its best offensive players and swept the game by a great margin. The star guard of the Mavericks revealed his secret for putting forward his A-game for the night.In a post-game interaction with the media, Luka Doncic revealed how everyone was assuming tonight’s blast would be a reality because of the headband.
However, the star guard believes it was him alone and not the headgear that helped him score 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists against the Jazz. Luka Doncic said, “I mean everybody say it’s the headband, I say it’s me.”

A media person, however, followed up on that answer and asked whether the rest of the three nights did any good. After all, the Mavericks last played on the hardwood on December 2, 2023, and then faced off against Utah on December 6, 2023.
‘Luka Magic’ helped the franchise record a straight win against the Jazz, 147-97. Rising back up from the two-game losing streak, the Mavericks’ stellar offense will be up against the Portland Trail Blazers on December 9, 2023. The Wonderboy indeed created a historical record tonight.
Luka Doncic ties Wilt Chamberlain after Jazz vs. Maverick
Luka Doncic played his seventh career game with 40+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 10+ assists, tying Wilt Chamberlain for the most triple-doubles in NBA history. Not only that, Wonderboy also set a record by scoring the highest triple-double in the first half in NBA history. The Mavericks star guard holds a record of 60 triple-doubles in his 349 regular-season games.
The player stands at No. 9 on the “Most Triple-Double Leaders” list. Averaging 31.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 8.6 assists, the star guard is all set to take on the rest of the season. Although the 24-year-old had a rough start to the season, the 30+ point record of the last seven games played shines bright for him.Like LeBron James, whenever the player steps foot on the hardwood, some or the other record in the history books of the NBA will be in danger. The Mavericks are running on a Luka-centered strategy to defeat the opponent. Imagine what a game would be if another high-caliber player got added to the franchise to assist the star guard.
