44 Point Game

On January 24, 1993 Drazen Petrovic erupted for a career high 44 points. This was during Petrovic’s prime. He also accomplished this against a very good Houston Rockets team that featured Hakeem Olajuwon and Kenny Smith. In fact, a highlight that stands out very clearly from this game is when Petrovic had Olajuwon fall for a shot fake and then a pass fake. He faked out Olajuwon so bad that he was facing the hoop trying to figure out where the ball had went. By the time Olajuwon realized Petrovic still had the ball, Petrovic was shooting a jumper over him for two points.

It was an impressive performance to say the least. It was just a small sample of what he was capable of doing.
