In a game for the ages, Mavs star Luka Doncic went off for an NBA season-best 73 points Friday night against the Hawks, tied for the fourth-most in a game in league history.
Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic had a night to remember Friday, lighting up State Farm Arena for a career-high 73 points in a 148-143 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
It’s the highest-scoring game in the NBA this season, surpassing the 70-point night by Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs, and tied Wilt Chamberlain and David Thompson for the fourth-highest-scoring game in NBA history. Chamberlain, who owns the NBA record with 100 points, also had a 78-point game, while Kobe Bryant finished with 81 points on Jan. 22, 2006.
Friday night marked just the 15th 70-point game in NBA history, and Doncic is the 10th player ever to reach the plateau.
