Damian Lillard put on an incredible performance in a win against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, which broke multiple NBA records.

Player of the Game Damian  Lillard EFF 64 Damian Lillard Points 60 Accuracy 21-29 Rebounds 7 Assists 8

The Portland Trail Blazers star scored 60 points on efficient 21-for-29 shooting, grabbed 7 rebounds, dished out 8 assists, and made 3 steals.

His 89.8% true shooting percentage made it the most efficient 60+ point game in NBA history. It was also Lillard's third 50+ point game against the Jazz, the most by any player in NBA history as well.

Additionally, this was Lillard's fourth 60-point game, which now places him third on the all-time list alongside Michael Jordan and James Harden, who both also have four such games. Only Kobe Bryant (6) and Wilt Chamberlain (32) have more 60-point games in their careers.

Together with LeBron James and Rick Barry, Lillard is now sixth on the all-time list of 50-point games with 14 in his account, surpassed only by Elgin Baylor (17), Harden (23), Bryant (25), Jordan (31), and Chamberlain (118).
