NBA HISTORY:
Devin Booker is just the sixth player in NBA history to score 70-plus in a game joining Wilt Chamberlain (six times), Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor and David Robinson. This was just the 11th 70-point game in NBA history, and the first since Bryant scored 81 against the Raptors in 2006.
Booker is the only active player with a 70-point game, meaning he has the highest scoring career-high of any player currently in the NBA.
His 51 second half points were the most since Bryant scored 55 in the second half against Toronto in 2006.
