During Shaquille O’Neal‘s recent podcast, ‘The Big Podcast,’ the crew discussed a variety of topics. The discussion ranges from a possible trade of Damian Lillard for the Portland Trail Blazers to how the Los Angeles Lakers can make the playoffs. During this time, another topic was discussed that shocked the crew. A large number of fans were shocked by Lillard’s performance against the Houston Rockets the previous week.

It was his 71 points that helped the team win the game against the Rockets, which ended up 131-114 in their favor. In spite of the great game, after game, things did not go well for him. Because of the game, he had to undergo a drug test. Aside from making a franchise record, Lillard made one of the most impressive performances of his entire career with this score.

In addition, he tied the record made by Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell. The result was also shocking, as it was the most points scored in a single game in the NBA this season. His previous record was 61 points, which he made twice before these scores.
