Last night, the Lakers' Austin Reaves posted an "alltime" -- since 1985 -- top 50 Game Score.
In the first week of the season, a bunch of standout performances around the league; here ranked by

The GmSc just gets my attention, rather than factoring into the rank. Giannis last night was a close 2nd in bpmG.
Players who [have] never had a GmSc above 49.6 include:
top Gm Sc
49.6 Barkley
49.5 Shaq
49.2 Curry
49.0 Wade
48.5 Iverson
48.0 Nowitzki
47.9 Tatum
47.5 Paul
46.7 Olajuwon
The top 100 GmSc are currently 46.6 and up.

It was remarkable how low Bam's game scored with Box Plus/Minus.
In essence, this was because his true shooting percentage for the game was about the same as his teammates. In other words, BPM didn't see him producing a whole lot of marginal value per shot. Most of the other very high scoring games also came with very high efficiency, leading to very high BPM scores.
