Ace Bailey made history on Tuesday (PH time), becoming the fifth-youngest NBA player to have three straight 25-point games. He accomplished the feat in Utah’s game against Toronto, scoring 37 points in 35 minutes of action.
Bailey was efficient on the offensive end, shooting 11-for-21 from the field, including 7-for-10 from beyond the arc. He also knocked down all eight of his free-throw attempts in the Jazz’s 143-127 loss against the Raptors.
Bailey scored 33 and 25 points, respectively, in Utah’s recent games against Milwaukee and Philadelphia. The only players younger than Bailey to have recorded three consecutive 25-point outings in the NBA are LeBron James, Cooper Flagg, Carmelo Anthony, and Devin Booker.
