Luka Docic made NBA history Friday night, becoming only the fourth player to have a 70+ point game, dropping 73 on the Hawks in a Mavericks’ win. It was a legendary performance.

It was an epic performance and came just days after Joel Embiid dropped 70 in a game (and on the night Devin Booker also dropped 62).
The NBA world reacted to Doncic and his scoring explosion on social media.
Wemby not fair, I just got mad. Book had 60 on some Kobe shhhh. Luka might have the slowest 40 yard dash in the NBA next to me killinggggggg us. I love the @NBA ❤️
