The Dallas Mavericks used to watch Luka Doncic drop triple-doubles on a consistent basis.
How the tables have turned this time around.
Doncic dropped his first trip-dub outing in nearly two months, spearheading the Lakers in staving off a late Dallas Mavericks rally, 107-99, Wednesday, February 26.

The Slovenian star finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds, 12 assists on top of three steals in his first game against the team he spent seven-and-a-half seasons with. It also marked Luka's first triple-double wearing the Purple and Gold uniform.

Lakers star duo going OFF in the 4Q ??
LeBron James added a solid 27-point, 12-rebound double-double, while Austin Reaves chipped 20 for LA’s third win in a row to improve to 35-21.
Anthony Davis, who was another major piece of the league-lettering trade that sent Doncic to LA, did not play due to a groin injury, but received a tribute video from the team he helped win a title in 2020.
Tribute in Los Angeles for Anthony Davis 🙏
