Luka Doncic set an NBA record with his sixth consecutive 30-point triple-double as the Dallas Mavericks rolled past the host Detroit Pistons, 142-124, on Saturday night.

Doncic piled up 39 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He surpassed Russell Westbrook, who recorded five straight 30-point triple-doubles in 2017.

Kyrie Irving had 21 points and Daniel Gafford supplied 17 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Tim Hardaway Jr. also scored 17 points for the Mavs.

Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 33 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. Simone Fontecchio had 27 points, James Wiseman notched 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Jaden Ivey contributed 17 points and six rebounds.

Detroit center Jalen Duren was ejected with 7:03 left for picking up two technicals after an altercation with the Mavericks' P.J. Washington.

Pistons rookie forward Ausar Thompson missed the second half due to an illness.

Doncic and Cunningham put on an offensive show in the first half as the Mavericks grabbed a 69-65 halftime advantage.

Doncic racked up 26 points and six assists, while Cunningham notched 24 points and four assists.

Doncic scored 18 points in the last seven minutes of the half. During that same stretch, Cunningham had 12 points and two assists.

Dallas opened the second half with a 14-6 run, including six points from Doncic, to stretch its lead to double digits.

Irving made 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to give his team an 89-76 lead. After the Pistons pulled within seven points, the Mavericks went on a 11-2 run in the final three minutes of the quarter. Hardaway scored nine of those points on a trio of 3-pointers.

Dallas also scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter to make it 111-88. Gafford dunked off a Hardaway feed to finish that spurt.

The altercation started after Duren fell over Gafford after Gafford was fouled by Ivey. Washington and Duren then exchanged shoves as players raced toward the scrum. Washington was assessed one technical while Duren was tossed.

Doncic came out after he grabbed his 10th rebound with 3:14 left.
