6. Isaiah Thomas vs. Utah Jazz

Isaiah Thomas continued to scorch defenses this week, his best performance coming on Tuesday in a 115-104 win over the Utah Jazz. You read that right -- against the defensively elite Jazz, Thomas dropped 29 points, 15 dimes, and 4 rebounds in 35 minutes of action. And it only took 18 field goal attempts for the point man to rack up just short of 30 points, hitting 10 of them, with 5 coming via the three-ball.

Thomas used nearly 30% of his team's offensive possessions while on the court, but he maintained efficiency, sporting a nERD of 53.20 with an offensive rating of 159.5 points per 100 possessions.

That was enough to get Utah's respect and an NBA All-Star vote.
