On Monday night, reigning MVP Joel Embiid dropped 70 points on the San Antonio Spurs, a season high in the NBA ... which lasted all of four nights before Luka Doncic scored 73 to lead the Dallas Mavericks to a win against the Atlanta Hawks (coincidentally, the team that drafted Doncic before trading him to Dallas).
On the same night Embiid scored 70, Karl-Anthony Towns scored 62 in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets -- a feat that was matched on Friday night, when Devin Booker did his best to keep pace with Doncic, also finishing with 62 in a loss to the Indiana Pacers.
