last Tuesday in Milwaukee’s victory over Washington—and it wasn’t even the week’s top scoring performance in the Central Division.The National Basketball Association these past few weeks has featured an almost nightly display of one-upmanship among the game’s greatest scorers. Whether it was for the Cavaliers or Dallas’s Luka Doncic reaching 50 points three times in a nine-day span, everywhere you turn, it seems like another player is putting up a huge total.
Before 2016-17, no more than eight different players had ever had a 50-point game in one season, according to Sportradar. Since then, at least 10 have done it every season, including a record 14 in 2021-22. Some of this is to be expected in what has become a very high-scoring era. NBA teams were averaging 113.8 points per game entering Monday night, which if it continues would be the highest mark for the league since 1969-70. But the overall scoring environment only tells part of the story.
Nowadays, basically every top scorer has some degree of proficiency from 3-point range, whereas back in the ’80s, some stars largely ignored the shot and nobody attempted all that many.
