He set the record with 52 points Tuesday night against the Pacers, who have typically been a stout defensive unit despite their record.
Williams, an 11-year veteran, is in his first year in Minnesota and has been the Timberwolves’ point guard by default this season with Ricky Rubio injured.
His points came on 19-of-33 shooting, to go with seven assists and four rebounds. Williams topped 51-point efforts by Love in 2012 and Corey Brewer in 2014.
Shoutout to Mo Gotti, who is probably one of the nicest NBA players to ever score 50 points.
I mean, if he’s not the most unlikely. That distinction probably still belongs to Tony Delk.
