"Gotta get to 72 now": Donovan Mitchell trolls Damian Lillard | Israel today

2023-02-27T07:33:34.753Z

The Portland star was amazing with 71 points tonight against Houston, just as a Cleveland player did this season against Chicago • The latter published an amusing tweet, which may yet foretell the following

This night will be remembered by many in the NBA.

To be honest, historic solo performances are already becoming more and more common in the best league in the world, and tonight (between Sunday and Monday) came another one, and once again caused absolute madness.

Damian Lillard scored 71 points on Houston's head, becoming only the eighth player in history to score 70+ points per game.

In addition, it was his fifth career game for the Portland star, in which he reaches 60 or more points.

And if the number 71 sounds familiar to you, you are not wrong.

On January 3rd, Donovan Mitchell stunned the league with the same number of points in Cleveland's win over Chicago and now, Lillard has matched him with another historic performance.

The person who was quick to respond to what Lillard did tonight is none other than Mitchell himself, who was quick to tweet the following amusing tweet: "My mom called me and said 'Damien Lillard tied your record...you have to get to 72 now.'

My mom calls me and says @Dame_Lillard tied your record... you gotta get 72 now😂😂😂

Of course, the network itself was filled with reactions to the amazing game provided by the star of the Trailblazers, who proved for the umpteenth time, what a great player he is.

LEGENDARY.
