10. Damyean Dotson, 30 points vs. Miami Heat

Fun Facts:

Dotson was recalled from the Westchester Knicks just three days prior to this performance.

If you Google “NBA stats single-game shot charts”, as I did while researching for this article, the first result is this exact shot chart from this exact game.
