The player: Anfernee Simons
The game: April 10, 2019 vs. Sacramento Kings
The stats: 37 points, 13-of-21 shooting (61.9%), 7-of-11 three-pointers, 4-of-6 free throws, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal in 48 minutes

Quietly, Anfernee Simons' breakout game on the last day of his rookie season is one of the most important games in recent Trail Blazers franchise history. It's certainly the funniest game on this list, on all levels.

Terry Stotts vehemently denied it after the fact, but the Blazers did not want to win this game.
