In last night's 118-111 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Jimmy Butler led his Chicago Bulls with 52 points while absent running mate Dwyane Wade.
That made him the second player in Bulls history with at least two 50-point games. But, that alone, next to Michael Jordan's 30 such games, doesn't amount to much.
More noteworthy, Butler's 50-point game was the eighth of the NBA season through roughly 35 games. It makes three 50-burgers in the last four days and ties an NBA record for the most in a season -- and we're not even to the halfway point.
