Doncic was in no mood to celebrate after the game. “I played bad for sure,” he said. “I didn’t feel good. I am happy for my triple-double, but I would prefer a win for sure and I didn’t play good at all. I missed some shots that I shouldn’t miss.”
Doncic is leading all rookies in scoring (20.0 points per game), is third in rebounds (6.7) and second in assists at 5.1.
