NBA Rookie Break-Out

Milwaukee Bucks rookie Brandon Jennings is now the youngest NBA player to score 50 points, with his 55-point “double nickel" outburst against the Warriors in a come-from-behind win 129-125 Saturday night.

In the process, Jennings broke a rookie franchise record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 51 points on Feb. 21, 1970.

"It was a very, very impressive performance for anyone, let alone a rookie in his seventh game," Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles told the Associated Press. "We just gave the ball to Brandon and let him go to work."

"I was scoreless after the first quarter and really struggling," Jennings, who hit 21 of 34 shots, told the AP. "I just started getting in the groove and felt really good in the third quarter."

The 29 points scored by Jennings were the most ever scored in a quarter against the Warriors. During the period, Jennings hit four 3-pointers and an assortment of jumpers and driving layups as he took over the game.

Jennings is only the third Bucks player to score more than 50 points.
