SPURS coach Gregg Popovich promised there would not be a repeat of Luka Doncic's historic outing against the New York Knicks when San Antonio hosts Dallas on New Year's Eve.
Spurs vs Mavericks preview
Well, he jokingly assured it wouldn't happen again.
Doncic had 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists as Dallas rallied to beat New York 126-121 in overtime Tuesday.
"We are holding Luka under 50," Popovich said, playfully slapping his palm on the table. "Quote."
Popovich normally dismisses any questions about the performance of another team or individual, but he praised the Mavericks guard.
"In our lives, there's always something that (makes) you say, 'I can't believe that happened,'" Popovich said. "That was one of them for sure. It was incredible. I was thinking about it, Doncic had 60 (points), 20 (21 rebounds) and 10 (assists), so 90. Has anyone ever had 90 in a stat like that?"
