In one sense, what Donovan Mitchell accomplished Monday night was truly rare. The Cleveland Cavaliers guard scored 71 points in an overtime win over the Chicago Bulls, the most in one game since Kobe Bryant scored 81 in 2006 and tied for the eighth-most in NBA history. The list of players who scored 70 points in a game features just seven people, one of whom—Wilt Chamberlain, still basketball’s statistical colossus—did so six times. “We were treated tonight to one of the greatest performances in the history of the NBA,” Mitchell’s coach, J.B. Bickerstaff, said after the game.
