This week in Knicks history: Nate Robinson posts career-high 45 points at MSG
Nate screams for one reason or another.You may very well be taller than Nate Robinson, but 11 years ago this week the 5’9” bucket-getter put on a show at Madison Square Garden by becoming the second player in NBA history his height or shorter to score 45 points in a game.
By March 2008, Robinson was midway through his third season in the NBA and rounding into form, having already scored 15 or more points 22 times in the 56 games prior to a March 8 matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. His minutes, meanwhile, were on the upswing, because Stephon Marbury had been sidelined for the season due to ankle surgery.
