In the American NBA, the Dallas Mavericks won 143-148 at the Atlanta Hawks on Friday evening. This was mainly due to Luka Doncic, who scored no less than 73 points.
The Slovenian star player did a little better than Joel Embiid, who scored seventy points for the Philadelphia 76ers a few days ago. The 24-year-old basketball player from Ljubljana thus finds himself in a crazy row with the greats Wilt Chamberlain and David (1978) Thompson, who were also good for 73 points in the same match. Chamberlain (1962) sometimes did a lot better with a hundred points in the same match, Kobe Bryant (2006) also played a world-class match when he scored 81 points.
