There are triple-doubles. There are 50-point games. And then there’s what Elgin Baylor did — not once, but twice.

Main Content:

• Record: The only player in NBA history with two 60-point games in the Playoffs
• Scored 61 in Game 5 of the 1962 Finals vs. Boston Celtics — still the most in Finals history
• His other was 64 points in 1961 playoffs vs. the Celtics
• Did it without the 3-point line, in a more physical era

Why It’s Special:

• Jordan had one 63-point playoff game
• LeBron, Kobe, and Durant have never scored 60 in a playoff game
• Playoff pressure + physical defense makes high scoring extremely rare

Closing Thought:
In today’s NBA, stars drop 60 in the regular season — but when the lights shine brightest, no one does it like Elgin did.
