There are probably a variety of factors driving down the frequency of these high-volume scoring outbursts, which makes VanVleet’s even more impressive. His is also a much bigger outlier than Curry’s or Beal’s, going by their career track records. This was Beal’s first career 60-point game but he had previously topped 50 on three separate occasions. In fact, he had back-to-back 50-point games less than a year ago. Curry hadn’t scored 50 or more since 2018 before this season but he had six previous 50-point games, including a career-high of 54 against the Knicks in 2013. VanVleet, on the other hand, had never even scored 40 points in a regular-season game before last night’s fireball.
