Kyrie sets Nets record with 41-point 1st half (2:01)

In the first half, Irving had 41 points for the Nets. There is a time limit.

It might have been the game of his life. The 29-year-old Brooklyn Nets guard dropped 60 points en route to his team's 150-108 win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night.

Irving went 20-for-31 from the field and 8-for-12 from beyond the line. He scored 41 in the first half, which was the most anyone has ever scored in a single half. He set a Nets franchise record for points in a single game. The Nets have won four in a row and are at 36-33 for the season.

Irving scored at least 50 points in March. His performance Tuesday night ties an NBA record for most 50-point games in a single month. Kevin Durant, Karl- Anthony Towns, and Kevin James all have one. It is the first time in 50 years that players have scored 60 points in a game on the same day.

The NBA went crazy on social media with their praise of Irving.

Ky stop it man!!! Actually don't 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
