1. Klay Thompson, Golden State Warriors

60 points on 21/33 (63.6%) shooting in a win against the Pacers on December 5, 2016

Really, it wasn’t even close. And I’m allowed to say that because it really wasn’t.

Klay Alexander Thompson scored 60 points on 63.6 percent shooting in only 29 minutes without turning over the ball once, mainly because he only held the ball for just 90 seconds the whole game.

There is no further reason I need to argue this as the best scoring performance of the season.

With the highest total points, the best shooting percentage and in the lowest amount of time, Klay Thompson runs away with the number one spot in the rankings for best 50+ point games of the season.
