March Madness has officially fallen upon the NBA with so many 50-point games in the month

SO. MANY. 50. POINT. GAMES.

If you feel like there’s been a ton of wild scoring performances in the NBA lately, you’re not tripping. There have definitely been more than usual.

There’s definitely a wild scoring kick going on around the league. It’s apparently a historic one, too.

One week Jayson Tatum gets a 50-point game. Then LeBron does it. Then…LeBron again?!? Then Kevin Durant does it. Then…Karl-Anthony Towns, you too? Kyrie? KYRIE?!?!?

And, now, Saddiq Bey?!? No, seriously. Saddiq Bey just dropped off the Orlando Magic with 51 points, 10 rebounds and 10 3-pointers (!!!!). There’s something about the Magic in March that just has people going off against them.

There was even a point where he scored 5 points in 7 seconds. No, seriously.

That’s just the sort of March the NBA has been having, man. With Bey’s performance here, this officially became the most 50-point game in the month surpassing the 7 we had just a few years ago in 2019, per ESPN.

The history doesn’t stop there. Keep in mind that it’s only March 18. There are still about two weeks left in the month. And that means there’s a chance we’ll get a few more of these games.

If we do, it’ll be the most we’ve seen since 1962, per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press.

Now that’s what I call March Madness. Will this happen? Probably not. But you can best believe everyone is rooting for it.
