Luka Dončić finished with all sevens in recording-setting All-Star game -  The Official Home of the Dallas Mavericks

INDIANOPALUS “- At Sunday night’s NBA All-Star game at Luka Gainbridge Fieldhouse, point guard Luka Dončić of the Dallas Mavericks had a terrible game.

Dončić netted seven points, pulled down seven rebounds, and dished out seven assists while starting for the Western Conference in this glamorous midseason classic. Furthermore, he wears jersey number 77.

The Eastern Conference defeated the West with a record-setting scoring spree, defeating them 211-186, which was unfortunate for Dončić and his colleagues. It surpassed the previous record set by the West in 2016 by 196 points, becoming the highest scoring performance in the All-Star game’s 73-year history.

Early in the third quarter, Dončić had a breakaway slam dunk that was one of the night’s highlights. Unfortunately, he wasted yet another uncontested dunk opportunity shortly after that.

Hi, Luka!”That was bad,” Dončić remarked.  “The initial one was commendable. After the second one, I felt exhausted.

“That was my plan,” Dončić laughed and stated when informed that he concluded the game with seven points, seven rebounds, and seven assists while wearing No. 77.

Dončić scored one point on one of six attempts from beyond the arc in 23 minutes of play. He shot three for ten overall.

That was enjoyable, Dončić remarked. “I enjoy it every time. For the fifth time, I am an All-Star, and it is incredible just to be here. Outside, all I can do is enjoy myself.

In the beginning of the game, Tyrese Haliburton of the host Indiana Pacers made five straight three-pointers. However, Dončić later assisted the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James with a fast break dunk and the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry with a long three-pointer.Hi, Luka!

Having scored two points, grabbed three rebounds, and tied for the game-high with four assists by halftime, the East held a 104-89 lead.

According to Dončić, the most memorable part of the weekend was something ordinary.

He predicted that LeBron, Stephen, and Kevin Durant will be in the locker room together today. “I can’t believe it because I haven’t done this at this level in a long time.”

Dončić, who leads the NBA in scoring at 34.2 points per game, has no interest in taking many jump attempts to display his shooting prowess. He doesn’t think he needs to include it into his toolbox since he’s been there and done that in both the regular season and the playoffs.

Hi, Luka!Dončić reported that “people coming here and playing 20 minutes” was the case. “They would prefer to avoid harm.

“Anyone can move out of the path. How can I resolve that?
