Dončić continues to shine, scores 51 points in Dallas win

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Dončić scored 51 points as he led his team to a 126:125 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night.

Dončić made two free throws with 4.5 seconds remaining, helping Dallas secure the win. It was Dallas’ sixth consecutive victory.

Dončić has scored 50 or more points in three of his last five games. On Tuesday night, he scored 60 points, grabbed 21 rebounds and dished out 10 assists in a win over New York. He is the first player in NBA history to reach 250 points, 50 rebounds and 50 assists over a span of five games.

“Incredible. He’s playing like an MVP. He’s clearly one of the best players in the league,” Dallas center Christian Wood said, according to the AP.

Wood scored 25 points, as Dallas recorded its fifth consecutive win over the San Antonio Spurs.
