Luka Doncic has done what the NBA has never seen before. He registered the first-ever 60/20/10 game in league history and improved his career highs in points and rebounds vs. the New York Knicks.

On top of that, Luka led the Dallas Mavericks on an incredible fourth-quarter comeback from down nine points with just 33.9 seconds remaining.

"I'm tired as hell. I need a recovery beer," Doncic said after creating NBA history on Tuesday.

New York sent Doncic to the free-throw line, leading 115-112 with 4.2 seconds remaining. Doncic made the first free throw, then -- after intentionally missing the second -- chased down the offensive rebound and made an unbelievable buzzer-beater to tie the score at 115.

NBA teams were 0-13,884 in the last 20 seasons when trailing by at least nine with 35 or fewer seconds remaining, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

"I think it was kind of lucky," he said of the last possession. "I knew it was two seconds or whatever [left]. I just threw it up and I was kind of lucky. But you know, we were down 10 with two minutes to go or something like that and we came back. This is an amazing team win."

Doncic went into a celebratory dance that had some rather odd moves to it. He said he was just happy. But admitted he got lost in the moment.

"It was celebrating," he said. "A lot of people asked me about that, I thought we won it. I went to the crowd like this [with arms raised] and thought we'd won it. Then I see it's tied... whoo."
