Tonight I am home resting and watching Mavericks vs Hawks on NBA TV. I was only going to watch for a few minutes but Luka Doncic is putting on one of the best performances I have ever seen.
At Half Time it is currently 66-66 and Luka Doncic has 41 points.

Trying to top Joel Embiid and his 70 from earlier in the week perhaps.

Trying to top Joel Embiid and his 70 from earlier in the week perhaps. not sure he will get as he has cooled off a little in the 3rd (Luka now currently has 51 half way through the 3rd) but the Mavericks record of 60 is definitely in jeopardy. |

Luka Doncic now has 57 points to break the State Farm Arena of 55 points by Kevin Durant and it is still the 3rd Quarter.

Luka nailed a 3 to set a new Mavericks record with 63.
edit: he now has 65

Trying to top Joel Embiid and his 70 from earlier in the week perhaps. Luka now has 70 with almost 3 minutes left, just the 10th different person to score 70 in a game. |

As an Atlanta native, I can't believe the game's still competitive. Looks like Luka is the only one really scoring.
I still can't believe we made that trade all those years ago.

Luka finished with 73 points to tie with Wilt Chamberlain and David Thompson for the 4th highest point total in an MBA game ever.
That was definitely the most dominating NBA performance by a player I have ever witnessed.

I know Wilt had that 100-point game but did not realize he had so many 70+ game. Five not including the record.

there's a reason he averaged 50.4 points in 62.
