The only entry on our list which came in a losing effort but man was it incredible. One of the budding young stars in the NBA, Booker shot to fame by dropping 70 Points against the East-leading Celtics. He scored a staggering 51 points in the 2nd half including 28 in the 4th quarter as the Suns tried to launch a comeback, but came up short losing 130-120.
Still, it doesn't take away much of the shine off a historic performance, as he became the youngest player to score 70 Points in a game. He is just the 6th player in NBA history to score 70 in a game and it is the highest scoring mark for any active player in the league today, with Carmelo Anthony 2nd at 62 points. What often gets lost in the scoring brilliance is that he had 8 Rebounds and 6 Assists to cap off a solid all-around night for the then 20-year-old.
