Doncic was 21-for-31 from the field and 16-for-22 from the free throw line as he surpassed Dirk Nowitzki’s previous franchise record of 53 points. Nowitzki accomplished the feat in a game on Dec. 2, 2004.
Nowitzki is the highest-scoring foreign-born player in league history. The 2023 Hall of Fame nominee is currently in the sixth spot on the NBA scoring list, but the 23-year-old Doncic is on track to surpass that mark some day.
