Luka Doncic is at it again. On Tuesday night, the Dallas Mavericks superstar had a historic 60-point triple-double in a wild 126-121 overtime triumph over the New York Knicks. Doncic's stats are already remarkable. He set a new career best with 60 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists. It was a club scoring record, and Doncic became the league's youngest player to achieve a 50-point triple-double. He's also the first player with a triple-double of 60 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists. He finished the fourth quarter in the most absurd way possible. Doncic and the Mavericks forced overtime by erasing a nine-point Knicks lead in 33 seconds, thanks to a tremendous late 3-pointer from Spencer Dinwiddie and a courageous last shot from Doncic. That shot occurred after Doncic purposefully missed a free throw before grabbing the rebound and putting it back in himself.
The Mavericks won with 25 points from Dinwiddie and 19 points and eight rebounds from Christian Wood. The Mavericks have won four games in a row. Doncic averaged almost 42 points, 9.8 assists, and 11.8 rebounds over that span, which included another 50-point performance Friday against the Houston Rockets. Quentin Grimes led the Knicks with 33 points and six rebounds on 7-of-16 3-point shooting. Julius Randle chipped in with 29 points and 17 rebounds. After winning eight consecutive, the Knicks have now dropped four in a row.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
