#1 Hornets at Washington, December 29 2001

Two nights after the lowest-scoring game of his career, His Airness had one of the best games in Washington Wizards history

Statline: 51 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals

On December 26, 2001, Michael Jordan's legendary double-digit scoring streak of 866 games was snapped when he scored only 6 points in a defeat to the Indiana Pacers.

Two nights after the lowest-scoring game of his career, His Airness had one of the best games in Washington Wizards history.

Jordan scored 51 points and set franchise records with 24 first-quarter points and 34 points in a half last night as the Wizards snapped a two-game losing streak with a 107-90 victory over the host Charlotte Hornets.

Jordan made 21 of 38 shots from the field, 9 of 10 free throws and had 7 rebounds and 4 assists in 38 minutes.

He had a shot at Earl Monroe's franchise game record of 56 until the Wizards blew the game open in the third quarter, allowing Coach Doug Collins to sit his star for good with 3 minutes 8 seconds remaining in the game.

There are so many levels of greatness to this man that one really is lost for words when we examine his career in depth.
