The 'Most points in a playoff game by team' quiz

No Giannis, no problem. 

The Milwaukee Bucks went into Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers without two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is dealing with a calf injury. But Damian Lillard stepped up in his absence, scoring all of his 35 points in the first half in a 109-94 victory, putting the Bucks up 1-0 in the process. During the action, Lillard told the home crowd, "This is what ya'll brought me here for." With Doc Rivers coming out and saying that he still didn't have a sense for when Giannis could return, the Milwaukee faithful have to hope that they haven't seen the last of Dame Time this postseason. 

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. Game 1 wasn't close enough for Lillard to try and set Milwaukee's record for most points in a playoff game, but he does hold the record for Portland. So, with that in mind, how many of the players who scored the most points in a playoff game for every NBA franchise can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
