Luka Doncic Becomes Youngest To 1500 Three Pointers in Dallas

Luka Dončić called Dallas "a special place" after returning and leading his team to a 116-110 win over the Mavericks, finishing with 33 points, eight rebounds and 11 assists. He sank three threes to become the youngest player in NBA history with 1,500 career makes from deep and thanked a packed house of 19,880 despite a winter storm. Dončić even walked toward the home locker room at halftime and treated 22 Mavericks fans to suite tickets and signature gear, saying "I'm always going to want to win no matter what." Merlin sees the night as both milestone and momentum. With LeBron noting Dončić seemed "more comfortable," the choreography of celebration and performance suggests a player settling into a new normal. The April 5 rematch gives a real test: can emotion and history fuel another win, or will Dallas turn pride into a sting?
