Most Missed Shots in NBA History
/granite-web-prod/20/4d/204da052769b4ee58d6c3b51432cb02e.jpeg)
One of the common threads which connect the greatest basketball players of all time is a short memory. Especially when it comes to failure. That's the kind of mental makeup a player needs to not only take, but miss thousands and thousands of shots throughout a career.
This point was underscored best in the famous Michael Jordan Nike commercial where he talks about missing over 9,000 shots in games, including 26 potential game-winners. "I've failed over and over again in my life," Jordan said in the commercial. "And that's why I succeed."
These players missed the most shots in NBA history.
30. Dolph Schayes — 9,564 Missed Shots
Dolph Schayes, right, won one NBA title in 16 seasons.College: NYU
Seasons: 16 seasons (1948-64)
Teams: Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers
Position: Power forward/center
Height/weight: 6-foot-8, 220 pounds
NBA titles: 1 (1955)
Bottom line: Bronx native Dolph Schayes led NYU to the NCAA tournament final as a 16-year-old college freshman in 1945, then became a 12-time All-Star and 12-time All-NBA pick.
Schayes won his lone NBA title in 1955 and played his entire career with one franchise, the Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers.
His son, Danny, played 18 seasons in the NBA.
29. Jamal Crawford — 9,715 Missed Shots
Jamal Crawford has been named NBA Sixth Man of the Year three times.College: Michigan
Seasons: 20 seasons (2000-20)
Teams: Chicago Bulls (2000-04), New York Knicks (2004-08), Golden State Warriors (2008-09), Atlanta Hawks (2009-11), Portland Trail Blazers (2011-12), Los Angeles Clippers (2012-17), Minnesota Timberwolves (2017-18), Phoenix Suns (2018-19), Brooklyn Nets (2020-present)
Position: Shooting guard/point guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 200 pounds
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Jamal Crawford's 20-year career has been defined by being one of the great teammates in NBA history — even if he's never won an NBA championship.
Crawford is a three-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year and was named NBA Teammate of the Year in 2018.
In his prime, Crawford could fill it up with the best players in the NBA.
28. Moses Malone — 9,790 Missed Shots
Moses Malone went directly from high school to the ABA.College: None
Years: 19 seasons (1976-95)
Teams: Buffalo Braves (1976), Houston Rockets (1976-82), Philadelphia 76ers (1982-86, 1993-94), Washington Bullets (1986-88), Atlanta Hawks (1988-91), Milwaukee Bucks (1991-93), San Antonio Spurs (1994-95)
Position: Center/forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-10, 215 pounds
NBA titles: 1 (1983)
Bottom line: If you lead the NBA in rebounding six times and average 12.3 rebounds for your career, in all likelihood you're creating a lot of your own shooting opportunities.
So if you miss a lot of shots, your team can live with it. That was Moses Malone, one of the more respected, talented post players in league history.
27. Joe Johnson — 9,897 Missed Shots
Joe Johnson, middle, was known for his success on isolation plays.College: Arkansas
Years: 17 seasons (2001-18, 2020)
Teams: Boston Celtics (2001-02), Phoenix Suns (2002-05), Atlanta Hawks (2005-12), Brooklyn Nets (2012-16), Miami Heat (2016), Utah Jazz (2016-18)
Position: Forward/guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-7, 240 pounds
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Joe Johnson's nickname of "Iso Joe" for his success on isolation plays is usually said tongue-in-cheek.
Being a great isolation player isn't exactly a recipe for wins. But it is a recipe for taking a lot of shots, which Johnson did throughout his entire NBA career.
He took 17,719 shots in 1,276 games and is one of 46 players in NBA history to score at least 20,000 points.
26. Gary Payton — 9,990 Missed Shots
Gary Payton was the centerpiece on some great Seattle SuperSonics teams in the 1990s.College: Oregon State
Years: 17 seasons (1990-2007)
Teams: Seattle SuperSonics (1990-2003), Milwaukee Bucks (2003), Los Angeles Lakers (2003-04), Boston Celtics (2004-05), Miami Heat (2005-07)
Position: Point guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-4, 180 pounds
NBA titles: 1 (2006)
Bottom line: The great Seattle SuperSonics teams of the mid-1990s were built around point guard Gary Payton, who also was routinely given his team's toughest defensive assignment.
The only point guard in NBA history to win Defensive Player of the Year, he's also one of the best "pure" point guards on the offensive end.
25. Jerry West — 10,016 Missed Shots
Jerry West won one NBA title as a player and eight as an NBA executive.College: West Virginia
Seasons: 14 seasons (1960-74)
Teams: Los Angeles Lakers
Position: Point guard/shooting guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 175 pounds
NBA titles: 1 (1972)
Bottom line: Jerry West, aka "The Logo," is still the only player in NBA history to win NBA Finals MVP honors on a team that didn't win the championship.
West won his lone NBA title in 1972 and spent his entire career with the Lakers.
As an NBA executive, he's won eight championships — six with the Lakers and two with the Golden State Warriors.
24. Tim Duncan — 10,049 Missed Shots
Tim Duncan won five NBA titles in 19 seasons, all with the San Antonio Spurs.College: Wake Forest
Years: 19 seasons (1997-2016)
Teams: San Antonio Spurs
Position: Forward/center
Height/weight: 6-foot-11, 250 pounds
NBA titles: 5 (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014)
Bottom line: Arguably the greatest power forward in NBA history, Tim Duncan won five NBA titles with the Spurs in his 19-year career.
His offensive workload was made much easier to bear with the addition of guards Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
And Duncan's 50.6 career field-goal percentage speaks to his efficiency.
23. Oscar Robertson — 10,112 Missed Shots
Oscar Robertson was the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double.College: Cincinnati
Years: 14 seasons (1960-1974)
Teams: Cincinnati Royals (1960-1970), Milwaukee Bucks (1970-1974)
Stats: 1,040 G, 25.7 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 9.5 APG, 48.5 FG%
Position: SG
Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 205 pounds
Other stats: 1,040 G, 25.7 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 9.5 APG, 48.5 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (1971)
Bottom line: The original "Mr. Triple Double" was Oscar Robertson, the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double for an entire season in 1961-62.
Robertson's crowning achievement was helping lead the Bucks to their only NBA title in 1971 alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
How important is Robertston to the game? He's even credited with creating the head fake and the fadeaway jumper.
22. Hakeem Olajuwon — 10,242 Missed Shots
Hakeem Olajuwon was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1984 NBA draft.College: Houston
Years: 18 seasons (1984-2002)
Teams: Houston Rockets (1984-2001), Toronto Raptors (2001-2002)
Position: Center
Height/weight: 7-foot, 255 pounds
Other stats: 1,238 G, 21.8 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 2.5 APG, 51.2 FG%
NBA titles: 2 (1994, 1995)
Bottom line: One of the greatest centers in NBA history, Hakeem Olajuwon was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1984 NBA draft — just two spots ahead of Michael Jordan.
Olajuwon's dizzying array of post moves was truly something to behold. Want to know how LeBron James became great in the post later in his career? He credits several summers spent training with Olajuwon.
21. Bob Cousy — 10,300 Missed Shots
Bob Cousy won the first of six NBA titles in 1957.College: Holy Cross
Seasons: 14 seasons (1950-63, 1969-70)
Teams: Boston Celtics (1950-63), Cincinnati Royals (1969-70)
Position: Point guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-1, 175 pounds
Other stats: 924 G, 18.4 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 7.5 APG, 37.5 FG%
NBA titles: 6 (1957, 1959-63)
Bottom line: Bob Cousy won six NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and was the 1957 NBA MVP.
Cousy made the All-Star team in all 13 seasons with the Celtics and led the NBA in assists for eight consecutive years in that stretch.
Cousy desperately wanted to play for the Celtics. He was drafted by the Tri-Cities Blackhawks but refused to report to the team.
20. Hal Greer — 10,307 Missed Shots
Hal Greer, with ball, teamed with Wilt Chamberlain to lead the 76ers to the 1967 NBA title.College: Marshall
Seasons: 15 seasons (1958-73)
Teams: Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers
Position: Shooting guard/point guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-2, 175 pounds
Other stats: 1,122 G, 19.2 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 4.0 APG, 45.2 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (1967)
Bottom line: Hal Greer was the first Black college basketball player at a public university in West Virginia and led Marshall to its first NCAA tournament appearance in 1958.
Greer was at his best teamed with center Wilt Chamberlain and led the 76ers with 27.7 points in the 1967 NBA playoffs on the way to the only title of his career.
19. Alex English — 10,377 Missed Shots
Alex English, center, led the NBA in scoring in 1983.College: South Carolina
Seasons: 15 seasons (1976-91)
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks (1976-78), Indiana Pacers (1978-80), Denver Nuggets (1980-90), Dallas Mavericks (1990-91)
Position: Small forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-7, 190 pounds
Other stats: 1,193 G, 21.5 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.6 APG, 50.7 FG%
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Few players in NBA history could fill it up like Alex English, who is best known for his decade with the Denver Nuggets from 1980 to 1990, when he scored more points than any player in the NBA.
Considering how many shots he took, English's 50.7 career field-goal percentage is remarkable.
18. Ray Allen — 10,388 Missed Shots
Ray Allen is the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history.College: Connecticut
Years: 18 seasons (1996-2014)
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks (1996-2003), Seattle SuperSonics (2003-07), Boston Celtics (2007-12), Miami Heat (2012-14)
Position: Shooting guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 205 pounds
Other stats: 1,300 G, 18.9 PPG, 4.1 RPG, 3.4 APG, 45.2 FG%
NBA titles: 2 (2008, 2013)
Bottom line: Ray Allen was the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history, and his jump shot was truly a work of art.
The reason Allen wound up with so many misses was that he had the green light to put up shots on any team he was on.
His corner 3-pointer against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals is one of the most clutch shots in NBA history.
17. Kevin Garnett — 10,637 Missed Shots
Kevin Garnett was the first player to go directly from high school to the NBA in 20 years.College: None
Years: 21 seasons (1995-2016)
Teams: Minnesota Timberwolves (1995-2007, 2015-16), Boston Celtics (2007-13), Brooklyn Nets (2013-15)
Position: Power forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-11, 240 pounds
Other stats: 1,462 G, 17.8 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 3.7 APG, 49.7 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (2008)
Bottom line: Much like Moses Malone, Kevin Garnett was a player so active on the boards that he was able to create a lot of his own offense that way.
Garnett came straight out of high school to the NBA and played a staggering 21 seasons — one of the longest careers in NBA history.
16. Paul Pierce — 10,797 Missed Shots
Paul Pierce was named NBA Finals MVP in 2008.College: Kansas
Years: 19 seasons (1998-2017)
Teams: Boston Celtics (1998-2013), Brooklyn Nets (2013-14), Washington Wizards (2014-15), Los Angeles Clippers (2015-17)
Position: Small forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-7, 235 pounds
Other stats: 1,343 G, 19.7 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 3.5 APG, 44.5 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (2008)
Bottom line: No one in the NBA had more of a green light than Paul Pierce during his first decade in the league. The biggest reason for that was the Celtics didn't surround Pierce with very much talent early in his career.
When they did, he thrived, and teamed with Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to win the 2008 NBA title, bringing home Finals MVP honors.
15. Wilt Chamberlain — 10,816 Missed Shots
Wilt Chamberlain only won two NBA titles.College: Kansas
Years: 14 seasons (1959-73)
Teams: Philadelphia/San Francisco Warriors (1959-63), Philadelphia 76ers (1965-68), Los Angeles Lakers (1968-73)
Position: Center
Height/weight: 7-foot-1, 275 pounds
Other stats: 1,045 G, 30.1 PPG, 22.9 RPG, 4.4 APG, 54.0 FG%
NBA titles: 2 (1967, 1972)
Bottom line: Wilt Chamberlain won seven scoring titles and, almost out of spite, led the league in assists one season when fans and media complained he took too many shots.
Chamberlain could score at will, but at times in his career, he played with a very pronounced indifference toward the game itself.
His career, with only two NBA titles, will always have a certain degree of "what if" hanging over it.
14. Russell Westbrook — 11,242 Missed Shots
College: UCLA
Seasons: 15 seasons (2008-present)
Teams: Oklahoma City Thunder (2008-19), Houston Rockets (2019-20), Washington Wizards (2020), Los Angeles Lakers (2020-23), Los Angeles Clippers (2023-present)
Position: Guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-3, 200 pounds
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Russell Westbrook's career and legacy are looked at in a much different light thanks to the last four seasons. Take into account that Westbrook wasn't even on this list following the 2019-20 season and now he's at No. 14.
The truth about Westbrook is he's a terrible teammate when you're on the floor with him and has shot almost every team he's been on out of contention — even if he's the one that got them there in the first place.
13. Allen Iverson — 11,439 Missed Shots
Allen Iverson was the NBA MVP in 2001.College: Georgetown
Seasons: 14 seasons (1996-2010)
Teams: Philadelphia 76ers (1996-2006, 2009-10), Denver Nuggets (2006-08), Detroit Pistons (2008-09), Memphis Grizzlies (2009)
Position: Point guard
Height/weight: 6-foot, 165 pounds
Other stats: 914 G, 26.7 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 6.2 APG, 42.5 FG%
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Allen Iverson was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft and led the 76ers to the NBA Finals in 2001 — the same year he won his lone NBA MVP award.
"The Answer" played with reckless abandon for someone his size and became one of the most popular players in NBA history and one of pop culture's all-time greatest antiheroes.
12. Elgin Baylor — 11,478 Missed Shots
Elgin Baylor, right, played his entire career with the Lakers.College: Seattle
Seasons: 13 seasons (1958-71)
Teams: Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers
Position: Small forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 225 pounds
Other stats: 846 G, 27.4 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 4.3 APG, 43.1 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (1972)
Bottom line: Elgin Baylor was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1958 NBA draft after leading Seattle University all the way to the NCAA tournament championship game.
While Baylor technically won an NBA title in 1972, he only played nine games that season before retiring because of knee injuries and was not on the roster.
11. Dominique Wilkins — 11,026 Missed Shots
Dominique Wilkins won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest twice.College: Georgia
Seasons: 16 seasons (1982-1997, 1999)
Teams: Atlanta Hawks (1982-94), Los Angeles Clippers (1994), Boston Celtics (1994-95), San Antonio Spurs (1996-97), Orlando Magic (1999)
Position: Small forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-8, 220 pounds
Other stats: 1,074 G, 24.8 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 2.5 APG, 46.1 FG%
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Hands-down one of the most exciting players in NBA history, Dominique Wilkins was a marvel on the basketball court. Few players have been as creative or had as much success playing above the rim.
What doesn't get enough credit is his mid-range game. Through hard work, Wilkins developed a pop-and-drop jumper that was almost impossible to defend.
10. Carmelo Anthony — 11,670 Missed Shots
In 17 seasons, Carmelo Anthony has never played in the NBA Finals.College: Syracuse
Seasons: 17 seasons (2003-present)
Teams: Denver Nuggets (2003-11), New York Knicks (2011-17), Oklahoma City Thunder (2017-18), Houston Rockets (2018-19), Portland Trail Blazers (2019-present)
Position: Small forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-8, 240 pounds
Other stats: 1,122 G, 23.6 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 2.9 APG, 44.8 FG%
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: There aren't many players who have seen their legacy almost solely tied to the offensive end of the court like Carmelo Anthony, who led Syracuse to a national title in his one college season in 2003.
Anthony never saw a shot he didn't like and his inability to create offense for anyone other than himself is likely the reason he's never won an NBA title … or even come close, for that matter.
9. Vince Carter — 12,046 Missed Shots
Vince Carter played for an NBA record 22 seasons.College: North Carolina
Years: 22 seasons (1998-2020)
Teams: Toronto Raptors (1998-2004), New Jersey Nets (2004-09), Orlando Magic (2009-10), Phoenix Suns (2010-11), Dallas Mavericks (2011-14), Memphis Grizzlies (2014-17), Sacramento Kings (2017-18), Atlanta Hawks (2018-2020)
Position: Guard/forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 220 pounds
Other stats: 1,541 G, 16.7 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 3.1 APG, 43.5 FG%
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Probably the greatest dunker who ever lived, Vince Carter played an NBA record 22 seasons before he retired in 2020.
"Vinsanity" took over the NBA in the early 2000s, and Carter was the first superstar for the Raptors, teaming with cousin Tracy McGrady to take a very, very high percentage of the team's shots in that stretch.
8. Michael Jordan — 12,345 Missed Shots
The Chicago Bulls took Michael Jordan No. 3 overall in the 1984 NBA draft.College: North Carolina
Years: 14 (1984-1993, 1995-1998, 2001-2003)
Teams: Chicago Bulls (1984-1993, 1995-1998), Washington Wizards (2001-2003)
Position: Shooting guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 210 pounds
Other stats: 1,072 G, 30.1 PPG, 6.2 RPG, 5.3 APG, 49.7 FG%
NBA titles: 6 (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998)
Bottom line: Michael Jordan was a scoring machine his entire career, but in the first six seasons of his career, almost every offensive possession for the Chicago Bulls ran through His Airness.
When Jordan started shooting less and getting his teammates involved more, the Bulls were unstoppable and won six NBA titles in eight seasons.
7. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — 12,470 Missed Shots
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won three NCAA titles at UCLA and six NBA titles.College: UCLA
Years: 20 seasons (1969-1989)
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks (1969-1975), Los Angeles Lakers (1975-1989)
Position: Center
Height/weight: 7-foot-2, 225 pounds
Other stats: 1,560 G, 24.6 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 3.6 APG, 55.9 FG%
NBA titles: 6 (1971, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988)
Bottom line: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't get to the top of the NBA career scoring charts without taking a lot of shots, but that's not to say he wasn't a team player.
Abdul-Jabbar benefited greatly from playing with some fantastic guards, and his career field-goal percentage of 55.9 percent is one of the best in NBA history.
6. Dirk Nowitzki — 12,565 Missed Shots
Dirk Nowitzki retired in 2019 after 21 seasons.College: None
Years: 21 seasons (1998-2019)
Teams: Dallas Mavericks
Position: Small forward/power forward
Height/weight: 7-foot, 245 pounds
Other stats: 1,522 G, 20.7 PPG, 7.5 RPG, 2.4 APG, 47.1 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (2011)
Bottom line: Dirk Nowitzki can claim the throne as the greatest European-born player in NBA history and has had little serious competition for that title. Until recently.
If there's anyone who might be able to knock Nowitzki out of that spot, it seems like it could be young Dallas guard Luka Doncic, one of the more prodigious young talents the league has seen in the last 20 years.
5. Karl Malone— 12,682 Missed Shots
Karl Malone was named NBA MVP twice, in 1997 and 1999.College: Louisiana Tech
Years: 19 seasons (1985-2004)
Teams: Utah Jazz (1985-2003), Los Angeles Lakers (2003-04)
Position: Power forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-9, 250 pounds
Other stats: 1,476 G, 25.0 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 3.6 APG, 51.6 FG%
NBA titles: None
Bottom line: Karl Malone had the great luck of spending almost his entire career playing alongside point guard John Stockton, a player who could create offense for other players in a variety of ways.
Stockton, the NBA's career assists leader, is also the career steals leader and was a perfect complement to the hard-running Malone, who was almost impossible to stop with a head of steam.
4. Elvin Hayes — 13,296 Missed Shots
Elvin Hayes, with ball, had his best years paired with Wes Unseld in the Washington Bullets' front court.College: Houston
Years: 16 seasons (1968-84)
Teams: San Diego/Houston Rockets (1968-72, 1981-84), Baltimore/Washington Bullets (1972-81)
Position: Forward/center
Height/weight: 6-foot-9, 235 pounds
Other stats: 1,303 G, 21.0 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 1.8 APG, 45.2 FG%
NBA titles: 1 (1978)
Bottom line: Elvin Hayes had to take a lot of shots when he was playing for the San Diego Rockets to start his career. If he didn't, there was no way his team had a chance at winning.
Hayes got a lot of shot opportunities because of his ability to rebound, and his 18.4 rebounds per game average in 1974 is the third-highest in NBA history.
3. John Havlicek — 13,417 Missed Shots
John Havlicek led the Boston Celtics to eight NBA titles.College: Ohio State
Years: 16 (1962-78)
Teams: Boston Celtics
Position: Guard/forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-5, 203 pounds
Other stats: 1,270 G, 20.8 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 4.8 APG, 43.9 FG%
NBA titles: 8 (1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1974, 1976)
Bottom line: John Havlicek was the first true swingman in NBA history — a player who was indistinguishable from a guard or a forward because he did everything on the floor for both positions.
His eight NBA titles trail only teammates Bill Russell and Sam Jones for the most in league history, and he also won an NCAA title playing for Ohio State in 1960.
2. LeBron James — 13,892 Missed Shots
LeBron James has won four NBA titles in 17 seasons.College: None
Years: 17 seasons (2003-present)
Teams: Cleveland Cavaliers (2006-10, 2014-18), Miami Heat (2010-14), Los Angeles Lakers (2018-present)
Position: Guard/forward
Height/weight: 6-foot-9, 250 pounds
Other stats: 1,265 G, 27.1 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 7.4 APG, 50.4 FG%
NBA titles: 4 (2012, 2013, 2016, 2020)
Bottom line: LeBron James made his NBA debut at the age of 18 in 2003 and has logged a lot of minutes. But he's still going strong.
After winning the NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 — his 17th season in the league — it begs the question of how long James will play in the NBA.
He has long stated his desire to play at least one season in the league with his oldest son, Bronny James, a high school sophomore who would not be able to play in the NBA until at least 2024 or later.
1. Kobe Bryant — 14,481 Missed Shots
Kobe Bryant scored 60 points in his final NBA game.College: None
Years: 20 seasons (1996-2016)
Teams: Los Angeles Lakers
Position: Shooting guard
Height/weight: 6-foot-6, 212 pounds
Other stats: 1,346 G, 25.0 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 4.7 APG, 44.7 FG%
NBA titles: 5 (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010)
Bottom line: The late Kobe Bryant's legacy was tied in large part to the fact he was a player who didn't need the green light from coaches or teammates to take a lot of shots — it was going to happen whether they liked it or not.
The stat line from the final game of his career, in his 20th season, tells the story best. Bryant scored 60 points on 22-of-50 shooting in a 101-96 win over the Utah Jazz, including 10-of-12 from the free-throw line and 6-of-21 from beyond the 3-point arc.
