That is the same number of points Bird scored for the Celtics in 1985. Other Celtics scoring records include 56 points by Kevin McHale in 1985, 53 points by Bird in 1983, 53 points by Tatum this season, 52 points by Isaiah Thomas in 2016, 51 points by Sam Jones in 1965, 50 points by Bird in 1986 and 1989, and 50 points by Paul Pierce in 2006. Celtics rookie players who have scored at least 20 points in a game include Jabari Parker (24 points in 2014), Anthony Davis (27 points in 2013), Stephen Curry (46 points in 2012), Russell Westbrook (51 points in 2011), James Harden (56 points in 2010), Derrick Rose (57 points in 2009), and Kobe Bryant (60 points in 2005). Bird has been involved in nine games where players have scored 60 or more points, including three games where he himself scored 60 or more points. The other six players are Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade, and LeBron James. Malone, who played with Boston from 1996 to 2004, holds the record for most points by a player on both teams in an NBA game with 63 points against Seattle on January 11, 1999. He also led the Jazz to a 122-120 win over the Celtics in April 2002. Barkley, who played with Boston from 1992 to 1995, and again from 1998 to 2001, scored 62 points against Miami in October 1995.
