Highest scoring games of the 2022-23 NBA season

T9. 54 points – Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

A heavyweight bout against the Los Angeles Clippers in early February became the grounds for a playoff-level atmosphere for Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. With the Clippers leading much of the early onslaught of the game, Antetokounmpo kept Milwaukee alive with 34 points through three quarters. The impressive showing would be just the beginning of Antetokounmpo’s night as he rallied the Bucks with 20 of his total 54 points during the final quarter. Antetokounmpo would even deliver the final daggers of the matchup, rattling off the final 10 Bucks’ points.
