Scoring 50 points in an NBA game is an incredible accomplishment. It’s only happened 11 times this season, but two of those instances have occurred within 24 hours of each other.
On Sunday, Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics dropped 51 in a win against the Brooklyn Nets and LeBron James dropped a league-best 56 in the Los Angeles Lakers’ win against the Golden State Warriors.
Given the recency of two dominant scoring performances so close to one another, it makes us wonder who the next Blazer will be to etch 50 points in the box score.
