When the Dallas Mavericks need a hero, Luka Doncic is always there to save the day. With the Mavs desperately needing an offensive boost against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, Doncic set the scoreboard on fire and collected his 29th career triple-double, thanks to an absurd behind-the-back pass to Willie Cauley-Stein for the slam and the guard's 10th assist of the afternoon.

Collecting his 15th rebound of the afternoon on a miss by Lauri Markkanen, Luka Doncic immediately sped the Mavs into transition, looking to take advantage of the defense before they could get set. Darting into the middle of the lane, forward Patrick Williams met Doncic at the free-throw line hoping to slow his progress. Without even showing an ounce of hesitation, the Slovenian youngster immediately got around the helpless Williams with incredible behind-the-back dribble before dishing the no-look pass to a diving Cauley-Stein.
Clearly, the Mavs star has eyes on the back of his head. It was also his second-consecutive triple-double after finishing with 28 points, 10 rebounds (corrected by NBA) and 13 assists.
Unfortunately for Doncic, while he finished with 36 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists, he wasn't able to lead Dallas to a comeback victory. They fell to the Bulls 117-101, with Lauri Markkanen coming up big with a 29-10-3 performance.
