Throughout NBA history, there have been 566 50-point games recorded in the regular season. Booker’s effort is just the 13th in which a player shot at least 80% from the field.

The Bulls have robbed three guys from possibly scoring 60+ over the last few years because the game was such a blowout that they didn’t get to play any of the 4Q.

With Donovan going to subs, it’s unlikely Devin Booker returns for Suns. This will make his 51 points even more ridiculous. It came in 3 quarters—and Booker didn’t score until midway through 1st.

Jayson Tatum (59.2%) entered tonight with a higher 2-point field goal percentage than Giannis Antetokounmpo (58.4%).
That’s not going to sustain. This has been an unusually poor stretch for Giannis that’s already starting to turn, but it’s still wildly impressive for Tatum. – 10:30 PM

Tatum’s 2 from his season high of 43 (@ DET) after taking that steal on Lowry to the house. Still 2:15 to play in the 3rd and he’s up to 30:41. Will probably steal some rest between quarters, but they’ll need him to stave off these Heat rallies. – 9:08 PM

ESPN Stats: Devin Booker is the 2nd player over the last 25 years with 50 points and 80% shooting through the first 3 quarters of a game, joining James Harden on Nov. 5, 2017 against the Jazz. -via Twitter / December 1, 2022
Gerald Bourguet: Devin Booker on not getting to come back in in the 4th quarter sitting on 51 points: “It’s fine when I’m winning. I’ve been there before. I’ve had 50 before. So it’s not something I’m shooting for at all.” -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / December 1, 2022

The Boston Celtics’ matchup against the Miami Heat on Wednesday had some serious royalty in the front row. No, I mean actual royalty, not just movie, TV or music celebrities. Prince William and Princess Kate were in attendance to see Jayson Tatum go off with a huge game for the superstar Celtics forward. They’re in town for the Earthshot Prize — per USA TODAY, that’s “an international contest centered around environmentalism.” As you’d expect, there were so many photos snapped of the British royal couple enjoying the action (and some that, out of context, are very amusing). -via For The Win / December 1, 2022
Jayson Tatum led the charge for the Celtics, dropping 49 points on 15-of-25 shooting in front of Prince William and Kate Middleton. When asked about the Royal Family in attendance, Joe Mazzulla joked and said, “Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? I’m only familiar with one royal family. I don’t know too much about them. But hopefully, they’re Celtics fans.” -via TalkBasket / December 1, 2022
Jay King: Jayson Tatum on whether he and Jaylen Brown are the NBA’s best duo: “I guess. Yeah. Whatever that means. … I guess that’s for you guys to decide. We never talk about that. We want to be the best team and win a championship.” -via Twitter @ByJayKing / December 1, 2022
