"You have to continue to play and have trust in your teammates," Luka Doncic said, via NBA.com.

After the game, the Mavs praised him on social media, and his scoring performance went viral. For his part, Doncic took to Instagram and posted a photo from the locker room after the game.

"Special night, special team," the caption writes.

Famous comedian and actor Druski and YouTuber MrBeast commented on Doncic's post and had nothing but high praise for him.

"Ni**a said team. Boy you had seventy f****g three points," Druski wrote.
