The 2021 BIG3 season is underway, with Week 2 action taking place this weekend. In the first game of the weekend, Trilogy picked up a win over the 3 Headed Monsters to move to 2-0 on the season. Isaiah Briscoe led the way for Trilogy with 13 points, five rebounds and two assists. We saw some league history in the second game, as Joe Johnson scored a BIG3 record 34 points to power the Triplets to a 50-47 win over Power to move to 2-0 on the season. The 34 points that Johnson scored set the single-game record for points scored by one player in a BIG3 game. Pretty impressive.
After today’s performance, Joe Johnson holds the record for most points (34) scored in a single-BIG3 game.
