The '50 points in an NBA playoff game' quiz

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets took care of business against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their opening-round matchup, winning 114-103 and taking a 1-0 lead. After the game, Lakers legend James Worthy heaped praise on the reigning Finals MVP

"To me, he's Magic and Kareem on the floor at the same time. He's a guard — he makes great decisions, a hell of a passer — and then when he wants to be Kareem, he goes down [to the post] and dominates. He's a special player who does a lot of things, and your antennas have to be up. You can't have any lapses."

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. Jokic has already done something that neither Kareem nor Magic accomplished in their storied careers — scored 50 points in a playoff game. So with that in mind, how many of the players to put up a 50-spot in a playoff game can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
