Luka Doncic had the game of his life tonight, erupting for 73 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists on 76 percent shooting.
It was the fourth-most points ever scored in an NBA game, and Doncic did it in a 148-143 win against the Atlanta Hawks, the team that traded him for Trae Young on draft night.
Here’s how the NBA world is reacting:
Luka Unreal 😱😱😱😱! They traded Luka right?
