Luka Doncic made history in the NBA by scoring a career-high 73 points, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 148-143 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. His performance tied for the fourth-highest scoring game in NBA history, achieving this feat with 25-33 field goals and 8-13 three-pointers. Additionally, he recorded 10 rebounds and 7 assists. This remarkable achievement places him among elite company, as only Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, and David Thompson have scored more in a single game. Devin Booker also had an outstanding game, scoring 62 points for the Phoenix Suns, but they were unable to secure a win.
This will be the fifth game that Luka Doncic misses this month due to his sprained right ankle. He has averaged 37.1 points, 9.2 rebounds and 10.4 assists in 38.8 minutes in the 10 games he’s played in January. https://t.co/QomJjd5Zty
