On this day in 1953, Celtic star Bob Cush scored 50 points in that year's playoff game against the Syracuse Nationals (the predecessor of the 76ers), becoming the first player in league history to score 50 points in a single game in the playoffs.
In addition, Bob Kushi also set a record of 30 free throws in a single game in this game, a record that has not been broken to this day.
