For The Second Time in My Career... Doncic 50 Points: Feels Like It's Going in

Luka Doncic not only scored a season-high 50 points against the Rockets on Sunday, but 17 of them came in the fourth quarter. Doncic also said after the game that for the second time in his career, he scored at least 50 points in a game. "When you feel hot, you feel like you're going to hit every shot."

Doncic, who scored a career-high 51 points against the Clippers in February, hit 17 from 30 attempts, including six 3-pointers, and finished with 50 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds against Houston.

Jason Kidd, the Mavericks' head coach, described Doncic's over-the-top performance as the best "Christmas present" of the trip. "Doncic is Doncic. He's the best player in the world and he proved it again tonight by carrying the load offensively.

Rockets head coach Stephen Silas said his team did a good job defensively today, but just allowed Doncic to score too many points. 'I'm not sure he found it easy, but we played hard on every shot he took, but that's what makes great players great, and that's what Doncic does,' he said.

"Sometimes you know you're shooting more than usual, but when you feel hot, you think everything is going to go in."

In addition, the Warriors have struggled on the road this year, going just 3-16, a match for 12-2 at home. Draymond Green was interviewed to explain his team's recent slump after winning just one game in six straight on the road.

"I think today's warriors are very fragile. When you start experiencing some bad things, you start to believe them, and once you believe, the bad things happen, and the only way to break it is to have a strong will." "Green said.

With Stephen Curry sidelined recently by injury, Green said of the Warriors' current situation, "This road trip is exhausting for us. It's not a quick fix. You have to fix it to gain confidence. "This is not true. You have to face the problem positively and eventually you will gain confidence."
