Luka Doncic and Devin Booker went on another NBA scoring spree on Friday night, making this a week like none other in league history.
“I mean, you have some amazing players, man," Doncic said Friday when asked about the recent run of great scoring performances.
Chamberlain scored 100 on March 2, 1962; Bryant scored 81 on Jan. 18, 2006; Chamberlain had 78 on Dec. 8, 1961.
And now, Doncic has joined their echelon, his 73 tying Thompson and Chamberlain (who did it twice) for fourth-most in an NBA game.
Leaguewide, NBA teams are averaging about 116 points per game this season — the highest rate in the league since the 1969-70 season.
