Nowitzki was selected by the Bucks in the first round in 1998 at No. 9, and was immediately traded to the Mavericks, Nowitzki played for the Mavericks throughout his NBA career, he played for the Mavericks for 21 seasons, a total of 1522 regular season games, Nowitzki has set a lot of team records, but in recent years, many of his records have been broken by Doncic, after today's game, Nowitzki's another team history record is about to be lost.
What is the record?Nowitzki scored 35+ points in 78 times in the regular season, setting a team record, and the last time Nowitzki scored 35+ was in March 2016, Nowitzki's team record was more than 7 years ago, but today it was equaled by Doncic.
Today's Mavericks vs Timberwolves, Irving was absent, Doncic single-core carry game, he cut 16 points and 4 assists in the first quarter on 6 of 10, 26 points and 8 assists in 9 of 15 in the half, he played 39 minutes, 15 of 27 (2 of 7 three-pointers), 7 of 7 free throws, 39 points, 6 boards, 13 assists and 2 steals, but unfortunately his teammates did not give their strength, Gwee, Jones, and Hardaway shot 7 of 34 in total, and the shooting rate was only 206%, which didn't help Doncic enough, so although the Mavericks started well (leading by 15 points in the first quarter), they ended up losing to the Timberwolves by 18 points.
Although he lost, Doncic has scored 35+ points 78 times after scoring 39 points in this game, tying Nowitzki's team history record in one fell swoop, Doncic played 353 regular season games, and his 35+ games tied Nowitzki, Doncic is too strong, with Doncic's current level, maybe he will be able to break Nowitzki's team history record in the next game.
