The 15-47 Rockets beat the 38-23 Bucks 143-136 powered by an insane FIFTY(!) point game from twenty year old Kevin Porter Jr. (He’ll be 21 in a few days, but he’s still 20.)
It’s one of the best performances by a player twenty years or younger not just in Rockets history, but in NBA history. Other similar outbursts were from the likes of players you may have heard of: Lebron James, Devin Booker, and, um, Brandon Jennings. Porter’s game in terms of contribution and efficiency probably rates ahead of Booker, and about on par with James’.
