Australian NBA star Dyson Daniels has continued to wow with a career-best outing for the Atlanta Hawks against the Boston Celtics.
The 21-year-old scored a career high 28 points in his side's 117-116 victory over the defending champion Celtics.
It continues a breakout season for Daniels, who was traded to Atlanta from the New Orleans Pelicans in July.

https://twitter.com/ATLHawks/status/1856530128882250120?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwThe Hawks guard swiped six steals in Wednesday's (AEDT) win to take his season tally to 36.
Next best are Jalen Williams, Jordan Poole and Tari Eason who are all way back with 21.
Daniels' steals tally is the most in the first 10 games of a season since Philadelphia 76ers icon Allen Iverson in 2003.
Daniels also contributed seven assists and three rebounds in a stunning all-round performance against Boston.
His efforts aided his side's comeback from a 15-point second half deficit, helping Atlanta snap a two-game losing streak, despite being without star guard Trae Young (Achilles tendonitis).
The Bendigo product's output was dubbed the "best game of his career" by commentator Bob Rathbun as he put on a "defensive clinic."
Fellow commentator Brian Oliver also had high praise for Daniels.
"He has been basically cooking on all cylinders," Oliver said.
"We knew it was going to be tough coming in against the defending champs but we fought," Daniels said.
"We fought until the end. They got us in the first half and we went down 15 or something but we kept our head up, kept fighting.
"Coming in here people were probably counting us out, but we didn't count us out. We came in here, we did our job, we did what we needed to do."
Daniels' previous career high was 18 points against the Hornets earlier this season.
The Hawks next host the Washington Wizards on Saturday (AEDT) while the Celtics visit Ben Simmons' Brooklyn Nets on Thursday (AEDT).
