On Jan 4, 1995, Gary Payton scored 32 pts without missing a single shot, including free throws.

He shot 100% (¹⁴⁄₁₄ including ¹⁄₁ 3-pt) from the field and 100% (³⁄₃) on free throws.

32 points is the most for a player who did not miss a shot (edit: in the regular season).

Tied 2nd: Thomas Bryant and Charles Barkley with 31.

Thanks to u/Additional-Ear-6871, who pointed out that Chris Paul dropped 33 without missing a shot in a playoff game in 2022.

I think you’re forgetting Chris Paul’s 33/5/8 on ¹⁴⁄₁₄ from the floor against the Pelicans in the playoffs in 2022. That performance was masterful

people forget how smooth Gary’s jumper was because the Glove narrative was so strong. dude could fill it up with anybody

If he could fill it up with anybody. Then that means he could fit like a glove anywhere…

Radio calls might be the best in all sports. If you have a solid broadcaster it’s worth the time and investment.

GP was the best pg in the league for a good stretch. Probably from early 90’s till about 2000.

On January 23rd 2015, Klay scored 37 points without missing a shot.

He could have sat the rest of the game and had this record.
