Following the victory, longtime former teammate and friend, LeBron James, gave a shout-out to Davis. "GAME BLOUSES!!" James wrote on Instagram while referring to Davis's clutch shot.

He's obviously our best player," Dallas' Klay Thompson said of Anthony Davis, via the AP. Wednesday, that best player had his best game since joining the Mavericks — including hitting the game-winner against the Hawks.

Davis, who played just his sixth game with Dallas after missing time due to an adductor injury, finished with 34 points, 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal and five blocks in the contest. In doing so, he became the first player in Mavericks history to record this stat line in a game.
