Andre Miller drops career-high 52 in win over Mavs

"Amazing. The only word that comes close to summarizing the play of Andre Miller in Portland's exciting 114-112 overtime win at Dallas Saturday night. A night after 1 for 6 for 2 points in 21 minutes, Miller was 22 of 31 from the floor and hit 7 of 8 from the foul line. He was averaging 5.0 points on 4 of 25 shooting in his previous three games. He finished with a career-high 52 points in 42 minutes Saturday, while only taking, and making, one three pointer.

The numbers from Miller's historic night are pretty remarkable. Nearly as remarkable: Miller's nonchalant reaction to carrying this team on his back and helping the Blazers win back-to-back games in Dallas for the first time since the 1998-99 season.

If Miller's 43 points 47 minutes into the game weren't enough evidence he had it going, his sweeping, fall away hook shot that bounced off the front of the rim, off the glass to the right side of the rim and rolled in with :14.8 left in regulation was. It was one of those rare nights with a rare player performance. The type you just sit back, shake your head in amazement at what you're watching and enjoy the show."
