Luka Doncic has made a lot of history during his first six seasons in the NBA, and he did so again on Tuesday night as the Dallas Mavericks wrap up a five-game road trip against the Golden State Warriors.

During the first quarter, Doncic hit a 3-pointer, giving him 258 on the season and pushing him past George McCloud's franchise record for 3-pointers made in an individual season.

As the Mavs look for their eighth consecutive win in San Fransisco, Doncic continues to build on his strong MVP case. In 65 games, the four-time All-NBA First Teamer (which will soon be extended to five-time All-NBA First Teamer) is averaging a league-leading 34.0 points, 9.1 rebounds and 9.8 asssits. He's shooting 48.9 percent from the field and a career-best 38.0 percent from deep.

Dallas currently holds sole possession of the No. 5 seed in the West with a chance to catch the Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 4 seed if it can continue to string together wins.
