The 'Most points in an NBA playoff loss' quiz

Through the first two games of the Cleveland Cavaliers series with the Indiana Pacers, Cavs star Donovan Mitchell has combined for 81 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds and five steals. 

And yet -- the Pacers are heading back to Indianapolis with two wins in their pockets after Tyrese Haliburton missed a free throw, got his own rebound and drilled a three-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining to snatch the 120-119 win in Game 2. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Mitchell's 48 points were actually only the third-most he's scored in a playoff loss. With that being said, how many of the players to score at least 45 points in the NBA playoffs and still lose can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
