Corey Brewer talked about Ty Lawson’s addition to the Houston Rockets, his contract extension and his 51-point game with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was traded to the Rockets half way through the season but his 51-point game, was probably his best game. According to James Herbert of CBSSports.com:
How often do people bring up your 51-point game?
Brewer: People bring it up pretty often. I just remember it was amazing. I felt like everything I threw up was going in. It was fun. And especially it was fun to do it in Minnesota where we had a rough year, to get the crowd something to cheer about.
There was a one-hour delay before you talked to media after that, right?
Brewer: I had a random drug test from the NBA. So I couldn’t do the interview until I got done with my drug test. I didn’t have to go to the bathroom. So it took a while. It was weird, it was just funny at the same time. I was like ‘Wow, I played the best game of my life, now I gotta go to the bathroom to take this drug test.’
A 51-point game by Corey Brewer is probably something we will never see again. He then was traded to the team that he dropped 51-point game on, the Houston Rockets. Brewer and Lawson produced good minutes for Denver and now the Rockets have the chance to solidify them as a force once again.
