Luka Reaches 1,000 Threes

Luka Doncic had 35 points, eight rebounds, and six assists as the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 120-113. Doncic has scored at least 30 points in each of his last seven games, the second-longest such streak in franchise history. The franchise record of nine such games was set by Doncic last season.

Doncic made five of his 10 attempts from 3-point range, giving him exactly 1,000 3-pointers made for his career. Based on games played, he’s the second-fastest player in NBA history to reach that mark:

  • 350 — Buddy Hield

  • 351 — Luka Doncic

  • 355 — Donovan Mitchell

  • 369 — Stephen Curry

  • 372 — Klay Thompson

At 24 years and 286 days old, he’s the youngest player in NBA history to reach 1,000 3-pointers made:

  • 24-286 — Luka Doncic

  • 24-344 — Jayson Tatum

  • 25-223 — Bradley Beal

  • 25-357 — D’Angelo Russell

  • 26-010 — Devin Booker

Mavericks rookie Dereck Lively II scored 16 points on 8-9 shooting from the field, also hauling in a career-high 16 rebounds. It’s the second time Lively II has recorded a 15-point, 15-rebound game with a field goal percentage of at least 85%. He’s the only rookie over the last 50 seasons to produce multiple such games.

The Grizzlies’ Jaren Jackson Jr. scored a game-high 41 points, setting career highs for field goals made (15) and attempted (29). Jackson Jr. shot 6-10 from 3-point range and made all five of his free throws.

Teammate Desmond Bane scored 28 points and dished out a game-high eight assists. It’s the sixth time Jackson Jr. and Bane have each scored at least 25 points in the same game this season, already the second-most such games in franchise history by a duo.
