71 points, plus 8 rebounds and 11 assists in a comeback win in OT without 2 of their starters. And he was getting most of them with deep 3s and tough finishes at the rim. Mitchell is just that dude.

Just like Booker's 70, this will probably be the best scoring performance for the next 5-6 years or so. Congrats on the 70 piece Spida 💯

Bookers don’t count both Luka and Spida earned every bucket to win a close game. It’s different when you already losing the game and you just stat padding

I'm glad that Donovan gettin his recognition. He was always a special and dependable player. All the way back to Pitino's era in Louisville.

He was just unstoppable this game everything went in!

71 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds. Holy Mother of God!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Incredible scoring performance by Donovan Mitchell! I would've never guessed he'd end up scoring the 8th most points in one game in Nba history.

[@gurjassinghbatra5758]

3:41 The agility, balance and angling that went into that 1 second is insane!

[@Aavaify]

Skills are definitely there - the point already apparently made by the Bulls side is a worthy one, however - that the player making the free throw isn't suppose to move until the ball hits the rim. Here, he clearly left way earlier.

[@tiffany5441]

Lebron james scored 40+ in his last two games at 38 years old, but that doesn’t even matter with these historical performances by Luka and Donovan

16 at the half. Forced OT. 71. Insane.

[@Mr3824KB]

My man was only 2 rebounds shy of a 70pts triple double...even though scoring is alot easier due to the spacing of the floor with every player shooting 3s, let this amazing performance sink in

[@dcu21]

As individual performance, I'd say this is almost equal to Kobe's 81 since they were also down big at 21 and that clutch free throw play from him to force OT. He also has 8 rebounds and 11 assists, near triple double. That's crazy 😳😳

[@era_emissary]

Not really. Kobe did it against a playoff team and he didn't need OT to drop 13 more points.
