Luka Doncic's Teammates Douse Star In Water After Historic 60-Point Game
Luka Doncic Doused In Water By Mavs Teammates ... After Epic 60-Point Game
Luka Doncic went crazy on the court on Tuesday night -- and just minutes later, his teammates returned the favor ... dousing the Mavericks star in water following his historic game against the Knicks.
The 23-year-old Dallas point guard poured in 60 points -- and added 21 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block -- ultimately leading his team to a huge come-from-behind win over NY in Texas.
And, as he made his way into the locker room to get changed afterward, the Mavs let him know they appreciated the first-of-its-kind performance ... showering him with over a dozen water bottles.
Check out the footage the Mavs posted of the celebration ... Doncic was absolutely soaked -- but loved every second of it!!!
Of course, the party was well deserved ... no other player in NBA history has ever recorded a triple-double with 60-plus points, 20-plus rebounds and 10-plus assists.
Luka Doncic had the first 60-point, 20-rebound triple-double in NBA history. Immediately after, here is what he said:

“I’m tired as hell. I need a recovery beer.”
That is instantly an all-time great quote from an all-time great player. 🍻🤠🏀 #MFFL

Doncic said following the contest he was "tired as hell," but he did have enough energy to make his fans laugh -- quipping, "I need a recovery beer."
No word what the beverage of choice ultimately was ... but, hey, at least we know he was properly hydrated beforehand!
