Corey Brewer

When and Where: 25th January 2014 at the Target Center, Minneapolis.

For a franchise that witnessed the likes of Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love, the Minnesota Timberwolves have Corey Brewer in its record books as the tied second-highest scorer in a single game - 51 points.

Similar to the Ross, Brewer has spent the better part of his 11-years in the league coming off the bench (475 of 766 games off the bench). The Timberwolves are the only team in his career, to twice give him full seasons where has averaged more than 30 minutes a game (2009-10, 2013-14).

In this game against the Rockets, with two key starters sitting out (Love and Kevin Martin), Brewer made the most of his opportunity by exploding for 51 points in 45 minutes on the floor. He shot 19-of-30 from the field and also had 6 steals on his box score to show off.
