The '8+ three-pointers in an NBA playoff game' quiz

Created on May 22, 2025 | Total tries: 103 | Average Score: 37.7 out of 58 (65%) | Quiz FAQ

With 4:45 left in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith hadn't scored since the second quarter.

Then he made six three-pointers in the final stretch of regulation to set up Tyrese Haliburton's buzzer-beating heroics to force overtime and eventually steal Game 1 from the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Which brings us to today's quiz. Nesmith finished the game with 30 points on 8-of-9 from deep. With that being said, how many of the NBA players to make eight or more three-pointers in a playoff game can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
