But Irving, as he'd done throughout the second half, thwarted the rally by knocking down a jumper. "He’s incredible.

Kyrie Irving just had one of the most historic nights of shooting you'll ever see. Here's how great it was.

Kyrie Irving is still just one of two guards to ever score 50 in a game while shooting at least 75% from the field. It was the way he got to the 50 points. That’s just the type of scorer Irving is. But he also drained 9 3-pointers on his way to 50. But it wasn’t just the 50 points. He’s only playing about every other game for the Brooklyn Nets this season because of New York City’s vaccination mandate.

Former Duke basketball one-and-done Kyrie Irving produced a historically efficient 50 burger in his most recent outing for the Brooklyn Nets.

Also, as StatMuse pointed out, the 29-year-old Irving has tallied at least 50 points for Brooklyn on three occasions, two more than any other player in franchise history. Per StatMuse, Michael Jordan was the only guard in NBA history with multiple 50-point outings while shooting at least 75 percent from the field. His highest game total as a Net remains his 54 points from January 2021; his career-high of 57 came in March 2015 as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers and included a game-winning three at the buzzer.

Kyrie Irving led the Nets to a rout that was both vital and more commanding than it sounds.

“We know how important every game is, so it’s good to get a ‘W.’ ” “Just as a professional in this game, there are plenty of positions where we have to respond.” Irving said. Bruce Brown (14 points, eight rebounds, five assists) made a running layup to pad the cushion to 79-45 with 9:52 left in the third. We just wanted to have a fresh start. It’s tied for the second-fewest shots in a 50-point game behind Adrian Dantley’s 17 in 1980. “It felt like a must-win night,” Irving said.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving reminded everyone just how lethal of a scorer he is on Tuesday night when he dropped 50 points in a win over the Charlotte ...

I told Seth, 'damn I didn't know he had it cooking like that.' I saw it in his eyes to start the game. That happened back in 2015 when he was still a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers and went 11-for-19 from beyond the arc in a 55-point performance in a win over the Portland Trail Blazers. In his previous four 50-point plus performances, Irving's needed an average of 31 shots to reach that benchmark, so his efficiency against the Hornets is astounding. "You just wanna really put your stamp on a game early and then be able to play the game the right way," Irving said after his stellar performance. The last time that happened was a season ago when he put up 40 points in a win over the Sacramento Kings while going 9-11 from deep. Irving went 5-of-7 from downtown and racked up 30 of his 50 points in the final two frames of action.
