In the 1988 playoffs, Michael Jordan became the first player in NBA history to log back-to-back 50 point games in the playoffs!! In Game 1 of a first-round series with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Apr. 28, Jordan scored 50 points on 19-for-35 shooting, sinking all 12 of his free throws.
Then came Game 2 three days later on May 1, 1988. Jordan one-upped himself with a 55-point game against the Cavs. He shot 24-for-45 overall and was 7-for-7 from the free throw line as the Bulls built a 2-0 series edge.
This record has yet to be broken by any other player!
