#8 Isiah Thomas lost a game after scoring 16 points in 94 seconds
Isiah Thomas is one of the greatest players ever to step on the hardwood. His offensive prowess powered the Pistons to 3 straight NBA Finals from 1988 to 1990. He won in 1989 and 1990, and could plausibly have won in 1988 as well if he hadn't gotten himself injured in Game 6 of the 1988 Finals against the Lakers. While hobbling and in obvious pain, Thomas scored 25 points in a single quarter - an NBA Finals record - in the same game.
His Detroit Pistons were facing the New York Knicks in the fifth, deciding game of the first round of the 1984 playoffs. His exploits led to the Pistons forcing overtime in this game, but the Knicks held their ground and went on to win as Thomas fouled out.
