After three quarters of basketball in the crazy game between Philadelphia and Washington, Bradley Bill seemed on the safe path to break Devin Booker’s record (70 points) and deliver a game that will be remembered as one of the greatest ever. Still, the Washington star scored 57 points after just 36 minutes, but he stopped at just 3 in the decisive quarter and “settled” for 60 points that set him a career-high and a joint club record with Gilbert Arenas.
“Throw that career record out the window,” he said Bill After the game. “I boil designers. I don’t consider any record if it is set at a loss, so I really don’t care about those 60 points. I just want to win, and sometimes that means I have to score 50-60 points.” In the decisive quarter, Bill scored 1 of 6 from the field, and 4.4 seconds to go he missed a penalty that could have made him the sole points record for one game in Wizards history.
“Bill is my favorite player in the league,” the Boston star admitted Jason Taitum, Who will meet him and Washington between Friday and Saturday. Bill, who as mentioned broke his career record (the previous one stood at 55), has become the second player in the last 50 years after Damien Lillard to record a stat line of at least 60/5/5 and 7 threes. He is also the 75th player in history to score at least 60 points per game.
