NBA fans were double-checking tonight’s box score in disbelief, with Anthony Davis submitting a statline for the ages.
Submitting one of the greatest statistical games of his career, Davis put up a mindblowing 27 points, 25 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks as the Lakers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 120-109 at home.
Davis is the only player in NBA history to reach those numbers. He is also the first Laker since Shaquille O’Neal to record 25+ points and 25+ rebounds in a game.
Here are some of the best reactions to his performance:
