Tom Haberstro put an asterisk on BAM's game.

0:04.0

He also put it on Kobe's game and Wilts game, no, because all of those high-scoring games are a little bit bogus.

0:13.0

This is from Sam Quinn of CBS.

0:16.0

Kobe scored the last 22 Laker points when he scored 81, 17 of which came with a double-digit lead,

0:23.0

the last seven from the free throw line.

0:25.0

Wilt and Devin Booker are the only players to score 70 against winning teams, and they only did it in losses.

0:31.2

Luca is the only player to score 70 in single-digit win.

0:35.2

Mitchell did it in overtime.

0:36.9

All 70-point games are a little fake.

0:39.7

That's why we don't see them in the playoffs, he said.

0:43.0

when you're looking at a guy who, is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in a heat uniform during a regular season game.
