On this day in Boston Celtics history, fan-favorite point guard Isaiah Thomas scored a regular season career-high 52 points in a 117-114 win against the Miami Heat at TD Garden back in 2016.
The King in the Fourth went off for 29 of those 52 points in just the fourth quarter alone, putting up a total of 26 shots while making 15 of them, connecting on 9-of-13 shots the Tacoma native put up that night. The Washington native was also a perfect 13-of-13 from the line to fill out the rest of his historic night of offense against the Heat.
Thomas reached a point total only the likes of Celtics legends Larry Bird (60 and 53 points) and Kevin McHale (56 points) had attained.
