One year ago today (Jan. 13), Mo Williams scored 52 points on the road against the Indiana Pacers.

Now, if we would have predicted Williams would score 52 or even 42 before that game, you would have said ‘get out of here, you crazy people.’

Well, he did and you can’t take that away from him. He hold the team’s record for most points in a game and now he wears 52 for the Cavaliers, because why not?

How did Williams do it?

By taking some ridiculous shots and hitting them. Shabazz Muhammad said that the team was passing up open looks because everyone knew Williams and whatever magical potion he took before the game was a better option.

He shot 19-for-33 from the field (57.6 percent), 6-for-11 from the 3-point line (54.5 percent) and 8-for-9 from the free-throw line (88.9 percent). What’s also sneakily impressive is the Williams also finished with a team-high seven assists to go with four rebounds.

Minnesota won the game 110-101 for just its sixth win of the season.

For what it’s worth, Williams combined for 54 points in his next four games combined.

Corey Brewer, who was probably a bit more unlikely to score 51 points, and Kevin Love were dethroned as the single-game scoring leaders that night.

But if the last two 50-point scorers are any indication, Nemanja Bjelica might be the favorite to hit 50 next.
