Russell Westbrook

Twelve 20-point quarters

Westbrook is not the most efficient shooter in the league, but his overflowing confidence and aggressiveness would always help him tally the markers in the scoring column. Russ has eclipsed 20 points in a quarter twelve times in his career, although his most recent came way back in 2018 when he produced 21 points in the opening quarter of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s win against the Warriors.

Tracy McGrady

Twelve 20-point quarters

Standing behind the shadows of Vince Carter during his first few years with the Toronto Raptors, T-Mac burst out of the scenes in his first year with the Orlando Magic during the 2000-01 season. He then led the league in scoring for two consecutive years, and established himself as one of the most unguardable scorers that the NBA has ever seen.

At 6-foot-8 with a high-release jumper, McGrady was the prototype wing scorer. T-Mac also has twelve 20-point quarters in his productive career that was unfortunately cut short by numerous injuries.
