Damian Lillard reacts to LaMelo Ball's first career 50-point game

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball had himself one heck of a night against the Milwaukee Bucks, setting a new career-high in scoring with 50 points. He didn't just shoot the lights out; he also helped create plays for his teammates, ending the game with ten assists as well.

With that stat line, Ball became the youngest player in NBA history to record 50 points and ten assists in a game. He saw the ball go through the hoop on 17 of his 38 shot attempts and drilled 6-of-17 attempts from three. For a 50-point night, that's a pretty efficient way to get there.
