The NBA season has been delivering regular spectacles since the All-Star weekend ended. The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t hurt the momentum as they won an amazing game against the Dallas Mavericks recently. While the Lakers were edging out the Dallas side, Damian Lillard was putting on a show for the city of Portland in another part of the country. His amazing performance against the Houston Rockets has made everyone take notice, as he entered into an elite list with a season-high scoring record. Meanwhile, as the fans poured in with their astounded reactions, Donovan Mitchell’s mother had a unique request for her son.

Damian Lillard hit 71 points against the Houston Rockets on Sunday equaling Donovan Mitchell’s season record against the Chicago Bulls. As Mitchell mentioned a hilarious conversation with his mother about Dame Dolla’s performance, fans swarmed in with their reactions to his tweet.

On Sunday, Lillard became the eighth player in NBA history to score 70+ points in an NBA game. As he entered an elite list of basketball players, the Trail Blazers superstar managed to break several more records in the game. While he had already matched Donovan Mitchell’s season record, he also broke the record for the most points in a single half of an NBA game this season, with 41 points.?

Additionally, the 32-year-old scored the second most 3-pointers in a game in NBA history, as he closed the curtains to one of the most magical nights of his career. Lillard has been in the league for more than a decade, as even LeBron James recently mentioned how he was a veteran of the league.

Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell, who also dropped 71 points earlier this season, narrated a hilarious story right after Lillard equaled his record. He mentioned how his mother called him to motivate him to “get 72 now” since D.O.L.L.A already equaled him. “My mom calls me and says @Dame_Lillard tied your record? you gotta get 72 now[laughing emojis]” Spida Mitchell tweeted.

Subsequently, fans swarmed in with hilarious reactions to his tweet.
