Luka Doncic broke a tie with Michael Jordan moving up to 15th place in the all-time list of players with the most triple-doubles in NBA games on Sunday. However, his 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 15 assists were not enough for the Dallas Mavericks to avoid the defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bulls.

“The second half, I played terribly,” he mentioned after the Regular Season tilt, “That’s on me, that game. I was being selfish a little bit because I had 30 points in the first half.”

“That wasn’t me in the second half. I’ve got to do way better than that. That’s just on me,” he added, “I was taking some shots I shouldn’t have taken. I just got to do way better than this.”

Doncic, 21, is up to 28.3 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 9.4 assists per match so far this season with his side carrying a 6-6 record.
