One year prior to his first championship run in 1991, Micheal Jordan scored what would turn out to be his career-high 69 points in a 117-113 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Jordan maintained a consistent scoring attack throughout all 4 quarters as well as in overtime. He dropped 16 in the first quarter, 15 in the second, 20 in the third, 10 in the fourth and 8 in overtime. Additionally, Jordan also became one of six players to post 60 points and 10 rebounds in a game, joining Shaquille O’Neal, Karl Malone, David Robinson, Tracy McGrady, Carmelo Anthony and James Harden. His overall stat-line reads 69 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block. This was the 1st of 4 times that Jordan went for over 60 points in his career.
