Bulls' Zach LaVine, Celtics' Jayson Tatum become second pair of players to top 50 points on the same day this season

Seeing 50 point games in the NBA happens to be rare as it not usually recorded especially for this current season.

The NBA has seen for the second time this season when two players record 50 points in a night with the first coming on Feb 3 when Stephen Curry and Nikola Jokic did so.

This occurrence repeated itself has Jayson Tatum and Zach LaVine both did 50 points in a night and the process achieving career highs in terms of scoring.

LaVine's own seems to be most impressive has 39 of his 50 came in the first two quarters against Atlanta Hawks with 25 coming in a row.

Before recent seasons multiple 50 point happens to be rarity, with only one coming last season and before then it last happened on 23rd Dec. 2005, when Vince
Carter and Allen Iverson both did 50 on a night.
