Luka dropping 73 on the same night when Booker dropped 62 is gold

[grandzeno]

Not a Mavs fan but this guy deserves a ring for sure. He’s been top level from the beginning.

[Makoyesh]

Bro made ALL the right plays when getting doubled and still got 73. Legend.

[feliciajohnson]

We had a blast last night at the game, it was epic… me, my boys and husband enjoy every bit of it.❤

[Adjllk]

25-33 from the field is crazy if Luka had taken 7-8 more shots he could've scored 80+

[Smilayyyy]

73 and 62…that father and son duo go crazy

[mortystraphouse]

getting 73 in this nba aint the same no more

[b-si]

Yall...the EFFICIENCY Luka got this 73-point game with...is literally insane & has to be a record!! Look up his field-goal make/miss %!
Luka out here updating HISTORY BOOKS y'all😎👏👏👏👏👏

[geraldcarr]

Damn! Larry Bird with ball handling skills! This guy was born with a basketball in his hands...😂

[markanthonymartinez]

Dropping 73 points in live slow-motion...incredible!

[epictronologs]

73 points on 76% SHOOTING
He's only in his 6th season..
We are witnessing GREATNESS.

[taltal]

What a day for Doncic family...
Luka-73points
Devin -62points

[darrienjames]

This dude was 3 assists shy of having a 73 point triple double…. Incredible!!!!

[Young-epik]

Most importantly it was on 91.2% true shooting. An organic 73 piece. He did not force it or manufactured it. Dude just shot lights out in a close game. 33 shot attempts was ridiculously low for a 70+ point game.

[Hoopfinesse]

Wow he does it at his pace and unbothered 😂 crazy talent

[EmirEldem]

73/10/7 on 76% shooting is absurd. We are witnessing greatness.

[Yetr]

Luka's ability to score at his own pace, staying unbothered by the defense, is a testament to his crazy talent. Truly a remarkable player.

[DallasMavsFan]

91% true shooting percentage. The most efficient game by anyone to score over 60pts.

[kaedenglass]

Luka’s pace is just mind blowing. True definition of someone who controls the game with their tempo.

[jerodeverly]

Most impressive part to me is that he was 25-33 shooting. Ridiculously efficient.
