Monday night was a busy night in the NBA, with nine players scoring 30-plus points, and three players scoring 40-plus.
Karl-Anthony Towns even put up an NBA season-high in points with 60 in Minnesota’s win over the San Antonio Spurs.
Stephen Curry finished with 47 vs. the Wizards, Trae Young scored 46, while Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid battled it out in Philadelphia with Denver coming out on top.
Moreover, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Jazz in Utah for the first time in 21 years.
Finally, the Los Angeles Lakers lost at home yet another game, this time to the Toronto Raptors.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all things NBA on a Monday night:
