A second after the buzzer rang, Doncic continued to celebrate by pumping his fists in the air and parading toward the sideline of the American Airlines Center.

Doncic's 60 points equaled James Harden's 60 for the Houston Rockets in a Jan. 30, 2018, victory over the Orlando Magic for the highest-scoring triple-double in NBA history.

The only other players to record a 50-point triple-double while pulling down at least 20 rebounds were Wilt Chamberlain (twice) and Elgin Baylor.

Even if Doncic's statistics jump out in the box score, his performance is not entirely unexpected. He has six 40-point triple-doubles in his career, which ties him with LeBron James.

A season-high 47 minutes of game time were played by Doncic. After the break, he took a total of 12 seconds to relax.
