The San Antonio Spurs were trailing by 19 points in the first half, but turned the game around to grab the away victory against the Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic scored 25 points, adding eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal to his tally. However, his latest masterful performance wasn’t enough for the hosts.

The 19-year-old Slovenian became the first rookie since Stephen Curry in 2010 to post 25 or more points in five consecutive NBA Regular Season matches averaging 27.4 points, seven boards, 6.4 dimes and 1.6 steals in this stretch. From the beginning of the 2018-19 campaign he’s averaging 20.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and five assists per game.
