Despite a strong performance from Luka Doncic, the Dallas Mavericks fell to the Denver Nuggets 118-109 on Wednesday night.

Doncic finished the game with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists, but it wasn't enough to overcome a dominant performance from Nikola Jokic.

Jokic was unstoppable for the Nuggets, finishing the night with 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 8 assists.

The Serbian big man was efficient from the field, shooting 11-of-18 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range.

The Nuggets took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring the Mavericks 33-22.

Jokic was a major factor in the third quarter, scoring 10 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.

The Mavericks struggled to hit shots from three-point range, finishing the game just 8-of-30 from beyond the arc.

Doncic was just 2-of-10 from three-point range, while Spencer Dinwiddie was 0-of-6.

Despite the loss, Doncic did manage to notch his 33rd triple-double of the season.

This ties him with Oscar Robertson for the most triple-doubles in a season by a player under the age of 24.
